I can't exactly tell you how much it weighs, but I am gonna give a good guess of 25lbs. I handled both a stock hood and an aftermarket hood, so I am pretty sure it's between 20-30lbs

Actually, its 55 lbs with a few packing peanuts, in the stock toyota box. It is oversized, and so much oversized that it cannot go UPS/FedEx. It has to be shipped frieght. I know, because I tried to sell my old factory non-scoopy hood to some guy in WI. I boxed it up, and my UPS guy said it was too large. So, frieght, 55 lbs. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

You could try shipping it in pieces, but then you'd pay more in freight to ship the welder and grinder required for reassembly.

I'm curious if the aftermarket hoods have been crash tested? If there's one thing I wouldn't want to say hello to, it's the trailing edge of the hood coming through the windshield after the hooks failed, if they even have them.

I use to own an Acura and I opted not to go with the carbon fiber hood after hearing of them not crumpling like a regular hood and coming through the windshield

I heard the same thing. I had a Carbon hood on my Honda and bounced a small doe off the hood and it never even left a mark. I had a couple of cracks in the bumper but no damage to the hood. That stuff is pretty rigid.
