you can save 60lbs with a full turbo back exhaust, gut the hatch with bose -50lbs remove airpump p/s a/c around 75 more pounds, lightweight battery -20 lbs
there thats over 200lbs already...carbon fiber isn't a cost effective way to lower the weight of an FD but removing all but whats necesary is!

CF hoods as replacements for steel hoods does save weight. But the difference between a CF hood and an aluminum hood is very small (and some CF hoods are heavier than the stock aluminum hood) so that it isn't a very good weight reduction mod for the FD.
I don't know the weights for all the aftermarket hoods available, but all the ones I have seen the weights for are very close to the stock aluminum hood, and some were even heavier.
