I didn't weigh them, but it's definitely not enough that you can feel holding them. I think I even read somewhere that the Seibon hoods may be 1-2 pounds heavier because of the extra material needed in order to keep it's shape. That said, a vented hood offers other pros that out-weigh the stock hood, i.e. lower engine temps. Plus they look dope.

I know alot of guys are not running hood pins, but I would recommend it. A buddy of mine was running down the road only doin' about 40 mph when his hood flew up and busted his glass and effed up his roof. After he told me about it, I noticed the material around the hood latch had some small cracks in it. Bought some latches immediately.

Yeah, I did it myself. There are some threads in the DIY, but it's pretty simple.
