Default Body Kit weight?

It's that time.....I'm shopping around for body kits and for the longest time I've been stuck on the Kaminari kit (without the hood). However after seeing different set-ups I'm a little torn and my main cocern now is weight. What type is lightest? CF or Urethane? I know that Urethane is more "durable"than Fiberglass so unless there's a kit that looks absolutely ****, it's either CF or Urethane. More than likey Urethane cause I don't want to spend an arm and a leg for aero parts and save it for performance. For those who have kits, is there a huge weight increase (thus performace decrease)? Has anyone weighed their car before and after? Would the increased weight be that considerable?

aftermarket kits are usually add weight and worsen aerodynamics too.

Think about it. No small companies have windtunel to produce aeroefficient designs, and composite technology is usually not that great too. So most of the kits make car slower!
