Standard hood weight?

Does anyone know the standard weight of an FDs hood?

Just trying to get some info for a dealer who's claiming a fibreglass one will be substantial weight savings and I completely disagree.

Just wanted some figures to back it up.

I did search for 'hood weight'.

Cheers!

IIRC, stock hood weighs in at a massive 19lbs, which is lighter than most CF hoods for the car.
