I noticed that the compound my OEM WS6 hood was made from seemed to be quite a bit heavier than the typical "light weight" aftermarket fiberglass hoods. I'm sure they are still lighter than the steel hoods, but probably not a drastic difference. Anyway, the additional weight of the 17x9" wheels and 275mm tires offsets some of the weight lost by the hood, so it's probably close to equal between a WS6 T/A and base T/A.
