No, because they use a base material and then wrap CF around it adding weight.
I like the Seibon hood, probably ordering one this year for the vents (Seibon TS style), to help regulate heat better. I agree with chuck that if you get it I would suggest getting it cleared again to protect it. My choice is I am painting the whole thing graphite to match my car.
