FYI, I'll be using the stock hinges, but ditching the latch (gotta be a couple of pounds) and using aluminum hood pins.

... one from Deft Racing:
97, 98, 99, 00, 01 - Up Porsche Boxster (Boxter) Carbon Fiber CF Hood
When I bought it 4 years ago it was under $400.00 delivered, so it was a great replacement for my at-the-time damaged hood which would have cost me over $800.00 once it was purchased new and painted.
Because I liked the new hood the way it looked, I haven't and won't paint it.
It's held up great in the Florida sun.
The hood has a fiberglass base and carbon fiber overlay.
It's very light and saved me 33 lbs from the original hood.
Also, my gas struts were almost to the point that they could no longer hold the hood open. Because of the much lighter hood I did not have to replace the struts.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro
