I believe most of the wet CF hoods are 2-5 lbs more than stock. Varis's was a couple lbs lighter. Their dry cf, as well as most other dry hoods are gonna be 5-10 lbs. Which percentage wise is a lot, but you're paying 3000-6000 bucks for those lbs.
A lightweight battery can save you 10-20+ lbs and those are only a few hundred bucks. For the price of a dry cf hood, you could get 2-piece floating rotors all around, or a BBK, which would save you easily over 10 lbs in unsprung weight. 2pc fronts alone would save 10-20 lbs depending on the brand. You could get just about any set of wheels for that price and save 2-3 lbs per corner of rotating mass. Or get some nice seats, which could save 10-20 lbs per seat. If I were rich enough to spend 6k on a hood for weight savings, looks and vents, I'd probably just spend 1k on a vented wet cf hood and the rest on one or two of the above and come out with a much nicer car.
