I'm sure we all want to know that, but at the end of the day, the aluminum hood will probably weigh 8 to 12 lbs, and the carbon hood maybe a few lbs lighter. Its just bragging rights, not really function IMO.
The carbon roof has more merit, if the steel roof structure can be reduced from the use of carbon. It also has chassis rigidity merits, as carbon has very high compression strength.
