How about I just take the motor out? THe damn thing is about useless anyways.
Well I just found out that Fiber Images makes a 7lb carbon fiber hood for the Focus. Thats alot lighter than some of the other carbon fiber hoods on the market for the Focus, so it just may be worth the money NOT to have to pin my hood down. If I decide to spend money on this, I need to find a local place to get me a discount. No way in hell I'd pay $400+ for this. :o
