gialla makes one of the lighest CF hood for our cars (dont have the exact number)
but in general, since our stock hood is aluminum already, most CF hood would not provide tremedous weight lost...
CF trunks are a different story, but then again on the evo we really should try to make the front end lighter for handling purposes

there's hoods that weigh five pounds... no structural support, i think that's a pretty good weight savings... anyway... here's more
Monster Sport Air Outlet Carbon Hood: 13.22 pounds
monster sport cf trunk: 13.22

difference is wet resin based carbon fiber constuction vs. oven backed vaccumed dry carbon based carbon fiber constuction
wet is heavier due to the added resin and weights for the material

I can't speak 100% to this, but what I've heard from a few resellers and vendors is that the CF trunk should not have a spoiler installed. I see you have the RS, but should you attempt to add a spoiler it wouldn't be recommended.
