Yes. Doesn't take much to weigh myself, weigh myself holding the hood, then subtract the difference.

The original owner of my car just HAD to put one of those cheap "Carbon Fiber" hoods on my beautiful CYM (along with some knock off wheels) and I must say, the fitment sucks, cracks easily (esspecially around the stock hood latch) and doesn't look all that great with no vents.

I plan on either replacing it with a stock Aluminum hood or just paint it and try my best to make it fit better. This hood is NOT worth the money.

My poor FD...
