Unless you are rich beyond your wildest dreams, buying a premium real dry carbon hood like the amuse one is a huge waste of money, its only going to be slightly lighter than stock aluminum hood. When it comes to the more budget minded hoods like seibon, they are actually heavier than stock hoods. So that's more of a visual upgrade not a "performance" upgrade. Only other hoods really available is Varis, which has better craftsmanship than seibon, but again they have their wet carbon/frp hoods which arent full carbon and are heavier than stock, and then they have their expensive dry carbon hoods which are super expensive and only a lil lighter than stock.
All comes down on what kind of car you are looking to build. Full blow track car with unlimited funds, every lb saved helps so go with the super expensive dry carbon hoods. Slightly modified street car on a budget go with seibon.
