Can anyone comment on the weight difference between the OEM 991.2 GT3 hood and the carbon 991.1 911R/RS hood weight? Thanks

Just finished installing my factory OEM 991R/GT3RS hood on my 991.2 GT3. I had the hood painted to match Nardo Grey and covered with Xpel Ultimate before I installed it. I also put an actual badge on it instead of a sticker, using the 997 Rubber gasket and drilling some holes like shown in my previous thread https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...e-sticker.html
I always felt the hood on the 991 generation looked a little naked especially for a GT3. I really like the lines in the middle of the hood like the 993 which they have brought back on the 992. The 911R/GT3RS hood adds a little extra character. Plus I think its dumb that the GT3 has a carbon wing but no carbon hood. The new 991.2 GT2/GT3RS hood is nice but the extra ducts are too much for a non RS GT3 in my opinion, so I went with this. Overall very happy with this subtle upgrade!

Thanks. I had the hood shipped from England to a local body shop in Northern California to be fitted and painted in GT Silver to match. The hood crest decal was applied by a friend who used his laser for exact placement.

Thx, which body shop? I think I am local to you. I am assuming the paint match was pretty good so wondering which shop to use for my future use.
