Ok, this is all I could find out.
The Import Trendz vented hood by versus is single sided only and saves 15lbs acording to their website:
"The hood is made of durable fiberglass material topped with Grade A carbon fiber material offering a weight reduction of approximately 15 lbs."
The fiberglass portion of the hood is where the bulk of the weight is. You should save at least another 6-7lbs with a double sided c/f hood.
Who knows what the stock one weighs?

wow, well 15-22 lbs lighter is significant I think. I mean it wont do much as far as performance, but its nice to see that it is actually lighter by a margin

Yea I agree. However how many times do companies have something about weight reduction and it ends up not being true. I'm sure its lighter though. I have been wondering this same question for a long time. I would like to get a double sided cf oem hood for mine. If you can save 15 pounds with a single sided, then a doubled sided should be a few pounds ligter yet. Someone has to know how much the stock hood weighs...Bumb
