sure, the CF hood by itself isnt much to brag about saving weight.... but when you get a CF hood, take out the AC, cruise control, and gut the interior, they all add up to a good amount of weight savings. my car has no ABS, AC, CC to begin with, so after swapping out for a CF hood and gutting my interior, my car was as light as civic coupe...and i have a 4door Integra.
ugly or not, thats an aesthetic opinion. but this is about weight reduction and yes the CF hood helps... again, not by itself alone, but in the overall quest to reduce weight, its one of the major factors.
