since the stock fenders are Aluminum i dont think that is really a factor. Most C/F hoods are the same or heavier weight than the stock Aluminum hood........

I have a VIS C/F hood and it is in no way lighter than the stock hood. the Gialla C/F hood is about 1/16 the weight of the stock hood. thats why i said most...

Carbon fiber hood it does save some weight at least 5-10 pounds depending on what style.
This fenders DOESN'T really save any weight maybe 0.5 pounds but ... when u talking about functiion yes it does give alot of function.
1. I dont have to cut / trim the fenders for my oversize front tires, while I rolled my rear fenders in order to fit that tires.
2. Some aerodynamics advantage
3. Looks nice.
