You won't save enough weight to make a difference in FE. Most CF hoods are wet carbon, they are cheaper, but not as light. From the Seibon FAQ:

With dry carbon, you get the most strength and save the most weight. The weaves and quality are more consistent, but they are generally 3 to 4 times more expensive than wet carbon. Wet carbon products are hand-laid, and are more prone to small defects like wavy weaves and tiny bubbles. They do not save as much weight as their dry carbon counterparts. But on the plus side, you get an incredible combination of visual attraction, weight-deduction, and most importantly, price. All products you see on our website are wet carbon. Wet carbon products are also the most popular and most commonly referred to as just " carbon fiber" .

I thought about getting one after my hood got a big dent in it, it would have been cheaper than what I ended up spending getting a new OEM hood and paint.
