That's what I hear stock hood is light as CF hood.

I also saw the CF roof saves about 9lbs, Looks expensive though especially after you factor in this would need professional installation.

The trunk is where we can do something as a DIY bolt on. Can't find any confirmed weights of stock trunk with stock boomerang wing. A real CF trunk while staying wingless should save a good chunk of weight, or adding back on a stock style or duckbill in real CF. The problem is most of these parts are sold to ricers who just want the cool appearance aspect. Its proving difficult to get any confirmed weights out there of the aftermarket trunks.
