Depends on how the hood is made.
Fiberglass or other product with a CF wrap is equal or more weight than a CF hood
Dry carbon hood is less weight but not a lot - I believe dry carbon hood is about 6-8 pounds

Now the other 'gains' from a CF hood can be the venting it provides versus a stock hood, different fitment (hood bulge) for aftermarket parts under the hood.
