Single sided hoods are only carbon fiber on the outside, for appearance purposes. Double sided carbon fber hoods are for appearance and weight.

If ya just want the carbon fiber look go single sided.
If ya want the look, plus less weight, go double sided.

dunno man, guess is depends on what they use on the backside. I'm guessing fiberglass.
I have a fiberglass ram-air hood for my camaro, and its about just as heavy as the steel hood.

Wikkymaster has one of Gravana's hoods. Shoot him a PM. And there other companies making hoods. RK Sport has a functional ram air Carbon Fiber hood, but it's a little more expensive.
