Most cf parts made for the g is for looks no weight savings in fact my oem style seibon hood is a little heaiver,the real deal light weight stuff is dry carbon and expect to pay buku buck's.

i have cf doors/hood trunk/and widebody cf fenders...honestly the most weight was reduced in the doors..the stock doors with skins windows and regulators weight about 92-94lbs per door...the cf doors weight only 25lbs/door ...the cf door skin weights only a meir 16lbs..but the install is tricky...the oem fenders and hood are made of aluminum so weight difference wasnt really noticable, more for looks but you can remove the front and rear aluminum brace's for about a70lbs weight reduction, as for the trunk a slightly lighter cf trunk looks good but if youre in it for weight reduction only...dont waste your time or money

dont remove the aluminum bars that save you from dying in a car accident unless u plan on putting in a roll cage and other forms of reinforcement

living > weight savings

i spent approx.3200.00 on all my cf,i got good deals on most of my parts..and like i did most of this for weight reduction,the vehicle is not a daily driver and is used at the track and shows...dont get the doors for looks only,due to the fact there is NO side impact protection!!
