For shipping purposes I just wanted to know if anyone knows how much a 3rd gen hood weigh.
Thanks

 

I can't exactly tell you how much it weighs, but I am gonna give a good guess of 25lbs. I handled both a stock hood and an aftermarket hood, so I am pretty sure it's between 20-30lbs .

 

oh thats not too heavy, i thought it was more
thanks

 

I was going to guess around 30-35

 

That's very possible. I mean, I am more used to the aftermarket hood, because the body shop removed the heavier OEM one. I guess what I am trying to say is my estimate is for an aftermarket hood w/ scoop.

 

Thanks

 

you will get yanked for oversized probably...

 

im in the southwest and fedex said only $45 to east coast

 

I would say 30-40 lbs and I guarantee you are going to get an oversized package charge for it.

 

Actually, its 55 lbs with a few packing peanuts, in the stock toyota box. It is oversized, and so much oversized that it cannot go UPS/FedEx. It has to be shipped frieght. I know, because I tried to sell my old factory non-scoopy hood to some guy in WI. I boxed it up, and my UPS guy said it was too large. So, frieght, 55 lbs. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

thats not good

 

i called them and they said it would be shipped regular because freight would have to be 150+ lbs

 

It's not a weight issue, it's the size of the box.

You could try shipping it in pieces, but then you'd pay more in freight to ship the welder and grinder required for reassembly.

 

lol
they said size wasnt an issue, it just costs more

 

I'm curious if the aftermarket hoods have been crash tested? If there's one thing I wouldn't want to say hello to, it's the trailing edge of the hood coming through the windshield after the hooks failed, if they even have them.

 

I use to own an Acura and I opted not to go with the carbon fiber hood after hearing of them not crumpling like a regular hood and coming through the windshield

 

The problem is that the box doesn't fit on a regular UPS truck. I got the OEM toyota hood, so I'm sure it will be fine.

Wonder if Jason B could tell us how much that Carbon fiber Hood weighs?

It weighs half that of a stock hood at least.

 

I heard the same thing. I had a Carbon hood on my Honda and bounced a small doe off the hood and it never even left a mark. I had a couple of cracks in the bumper but no damage to the hood. That stuff is pretty rigid.
