Default 06 Coupe Hood/Trunk

Anyone any idea what these weight each?
and then... compared with carbon?

Beyond the look, is it worth $500 apiece in weight reduction? Collective 100... 200lb loss?

Cmonnn.
Help a new brutha out.

Anyone who has a CF hood or trunk- bout how much they weigh? Checked a few sites, couldn't find anything re: product weight. I'm guessing actual weight loss is maybe a collective 50lbs. Seems stock weigh ~50lbs apiece.

no, the weight reduction isn't worth the money. spend that money on a header and/or exhaust if you want to see a difference in performance.

there's no way a stock hood weighs 50 lbs, i'd be surprised if it was more than 25. not sure about the trunk though.
