The CF hood is more for looks than weight gains. I don't know the weight of both hoods, but do know that carbon fiber is only going to save you 2-3 pounds.

The overlayed carbon fiber hoods only save 2-3lbs.

The dry carbon hoods from Amuse save over 10lbs.

MATIX ^ can get these I believe.

Even at that price per pound the hood might as well be lined with gold.
