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.
I realize on the hood... I may end up just hacking up the OEM hood to get weight off and improve air flow

The fenders have the best shot of generating some weight savings... would be helpful for someone to weigh the OEM fenders

That's what I want to do is cut the OEM hood. But UAM might know about the weight of the fenders for the work with them.
