I guess you are talking about the HKS? For a normal Evo a carbon fibre bonnet (hood I think for you) isn't much or any lighter than the standard aluminium one (aluminum I think for you), I think one tuner said they carbon fibre bonnet they bought was actually heavier. I am guessing that the front wings/fenders/whatever would be similar since they are aluminium too. They doors might save a bit though.

only properly made carbon panels will save weight and can be strong most of the ones you see out are mostly for show.

u have to remember that carbon fiber is not malleable so if u were to get hit it would shatter like glass.

The dry carbon fiber look is the new hotness in Ja-pan. Well, at least that's what I heard.
