You'll be hard pressed to find dry carbon parts in Japan, let alone in the states. There are a few company who make hoods, but they are very expensive. Seibon had debuted a "dry" carbon line-up at SEMA last year, but nobody has really heard anything since. If I remember correctly the hood weighed 9-10lbs and cost between $2,200-2,400.
Here's a good way to look at it as far as weight savings..
Wet hand laid hoods- weighs 19-21lbs and cost $400-$550.
Vacuum bagged carbon hoods- weighs 12-13lbs and cost $1000-$1100.
Pre-preg dry carbon hoods- weighs 8-10lbs and costs $2000+.
