I think you are mixing up your materials...aluminum is very light in comparison to other metals....are you sure your not talking about steel?

Anyways, yes are hood is aluminum and it is pretty light compared to other hoods.

maybe you should install some gas lifters for it, can make even heavy hoods lighter (i was spoiled with my last car, was alum and had gas lifters, basically lifted with 2 fingers about 6inches...)
