I had CF fenders on my honda accord before i sold it. The fenders did not make any difference in weight. Maybe a pound or so. The stock fenders are not heavy, as they are thin stamped aluminum. They are more for looks than anything, especially something that is wet carbon fiber. If it's a dry carbon from a japanese company, then you may get some better weight savings, and fitment. Basically, a lot of the fenders out there especially from japan have vents in them or are a little wider. That is all for either aerodynamics, or for venting heat from the wheel well to help the brakes etc....

but it's not a weight reduction item really.....

The stock fender weighs around 10 lbs each. Most likely, the CF fenders are heavier than the stock ones, especially if it's a wet layup CF.
