As far as weight savings goes:
Stock Z hood 10.0kg
Varis VSDC (Varis semi-dry carbon): 7.8kg

So you save about 5lbs between the OEM and the lightest offering from Varis.

They also make a standard wet carbon hood which only saves a couple pounds but still features the venting, as well as a full FRP hood that's about the same weight as stock.
so if I didn't spend any money and instead just took a good heavy **** I'd be at approx the same weight savings?
