All this CF **** is just for looks, no one makes them with weight in mind. Nobody ever posts the weights of their CF products(you have to specifically ask) because there is no weight savings.
That is because companies are making half a$$ parts.
A lot of CF parts are fiberglass or other product wrapped in CF which in ends up weighting the same as OEM parts. Dry carbon will shave a lot of weight, for a hood our sizes in dry carbon should weight in under 10lbs, but dry carbon is very expensive (our hood would cost 2k+).
