let me apologize in advance if there is an existing thread on this, because this forum cannot be searched with the model Iphone i am using.

I believe the stock hood is 16lbs. And current CF hoods weigh a good bit more unless dry CF which is $$$$.

oh, i thought it was the other way around. i mean i figured people got CF hoods to cut weight, but i guess its for the looks. thanks for posting

We have an aluminum hood stock, which is rare for many cars. That's where the discrepancy lies.
