Yes, I know some CF hoods out there do weigh less.. NOT ALL , though
All carbon fiber hoods are a weight loss compared to steel hoods. I got my first carbon fiber covered fiberglass hood about 5 years. It's FAR lighter than a stock Honda hood and it's thicker and stronger than most other versions on the market and I've never used hood pins with it.

There's not a much weight difference if you have a stock aluminum hood though, might as well just stay stock unless you plan on spending the $1,000+ for a dry carbon version.
