The hood weighs 9.3 kg/20.5 lb, a 34 percent weight reduction, compared to the production fiberglass SMC hood. The painted, Class A outer skin, only 1.2 mm/0.048 inch thick, is produced via autoclave from unidirectional epoxy prepreg that cures in only ten minutes at 150oC/300oF, supplied by Toray Composites America Inc. (Tacoma, Wash., U.S.A.). The outer skin is bonded to a hybrid carbon fiber/low-density fiberglass SMC inner panel.The hoods are produced for GM by MacLean Quality Compsites (West Jordan, Utah, U.S.A.). * - Composites Technology, August 2003, pg. 35
