HO428, I used to be in that business and those two sources have alot of selection, however don't be too fussy about fit and finish. Also, re: the race weight stuff, just be prepared to do some stiffening here and there so it doesn't flap in the breeze or fly off down the track. Not trying to be a comedian.

Alot of my customers thought they wanted race weight but were expecting the product to be as rigid as the street grade. Most of them changed their minds and went with the street stuff because the weight difference between race and street is really negligible in the grand scheme of things.

FWIW

Unlimited post weights, I didn't see them on US site but I'd suspect they're close???
Your right on the hoods, 22 lbs street vs 18 lbs Race Wt. It would be nice to use hinges too and not have to lift it off.
It's a Road race car so don't want no flapping in the breeze.

Thanks
