Gemballa Hood (993 style)

Does anybody know what is the weight of this hood vs stock one? And is it CF? Any other lightweight options?

Thanks,

it differs too much on 996's (around 30-35 lbs I guess) stock vs cf hood, i figured it would be around the same on 997's, not sure though.

any other lightweightning opinions other than hood? I already got gt2 seats, lighter wheels, lighter exhaust and lighter brakes & rotors.

Probably not worth it for the weight savings, but if you're getting it for aesthetics that's a different story.
