Carbon fiber is not all the same. There are many different resin systems that can be used, and a few different molding/ curing processes. Almost all of the aftermarket carbon fiber available uses the cheapest/weakest resin systems. I am pretty sure that all aftermarket carbon fiber hoods use some form of filler/backer like chopped fiberglass. I don't think even the high end "dry" hoods are full carbon fiber.
If you want to save a lot of weight, and get some horse power as well, go with a titanium exhaust!
