Ive got a 95 WRX and going to put a front mount on shortly,thinkin about ditching the turbo bonnet and putting on a non turbo one,since the scoop will be useless,was just wondering abought weight though as my current bonnet is alloy,any ideas?

Hi, i doubt the Scoop weighs much at all, my Ver 3 Sti is plastic and weighs barely anything, i'd leave it on to keep the look, i think the scoop lifts the front of the car...just my opinion though hope it helps..

hmm not quite what i was lookin for,sorry my fault,baisically i want to know if non-turbo bonnets are much heavier than my current turbo bonnet made from aluminium

Yes they are, they weigh an absolute tone, just like the steel turbo bonnets.
About 12kg if i remember right, where as your ally one will weigh about 5kg!!

Steel Turbo bonnet is 15kg, add the fact that the non turbo has no holes in it!

Carbon ones are about 5kg (well mine is anyway) (but it does have cutouts for scoops) PM if you are serious about having one without any holes in it, I may be able to help.
