Default How heavy are stock EG hoods? How much lighter are CF hoods?

The stock hood doesn't seem that heavy to me (maybe 25 pounds?) and wondering if the CF hoods are that much lighter.

CF hoods are 17 to 8 lbs depending on who is the manufacturer and whether or not it has a fiberglass underbody.

added parts to the hood (fiberglass) usually means it weighs MORE than the one with LESS parts
