Default How heavy are CF Hardtops

Just curious... How much do Carbon Fiber Hardtops typically weigh?

Mugen, Seibon... Are they really that lighter compare to OEM Hardtop?

Thanks in advance for any response...

The stock one weighs 49 lbs, and I can tell you a great majority of that is the glass. I am pretty sure the difference between CF and aluminum is pretty minor (CF version may even weigh more). But your difference is going to come from the glass.
