To give a VFN example a stock T/A hood non ram air pin on hood in glass is 11 lbs. The same CF hood is 8 or 9 pounds per VFN. It is also double the price. Not a great price to weight savings ratio unless you have an all out 7 sec type race car.

the cost is a little more than double, so those are definately things to think about before ordering one.

DG Motorsports makes a pretty nice hood. Pricey, though.

don't get mine confused with the import style where you see the pattern. it comes pre-prepped from VFN, but still needs final prep before it gets painted. they also have the other style, which is like a glossy black and silvery cross pattern that looks like what c/f interior trim usually looks like.
