Anyone know the weight differential between the OEM hood and trunk and a typical carbon fiber hood?

$694

These folks I know sell quality products, but they don't have a hood for the 2017 Civic. Yet.

$600, for the same Siebon hood, but then charges $223 for shipping. Riiight.

Never mind, found my own answer. Stock hood is 33 lbs, Seibon is 19 lbs.

Anyone actually installed these and noticed a difference? 14-30lbs off a 2700-2900 lb car is about a 1% weight reduction.
