Same. stock hood is aluminum doubt it's 50. Amd Seibon hoods are not race quality real carbon. Its one carbon sheet over a fiber glass shell. Probably same weight as oem.
Let me know if you need help with the airbag lights. The pass seat is a lot trickier.

LRC - good work on the savings so far... it's a shame SPARCO doesn't still have the Roadster seat, I still have one hanging around, but those were the same lightness as what you went with, but way easier for street use while being one of the most comfy fixed seats(with the optional lumbar pad) I've ever used.
I wish they did what you did and change the seats on the track edition of the RC-F. I had a problem with one of my motors and they had to replace it which meant taking out my seat and taking it apart, but I saw the seat and the frame and those things are super heavy. If they changed the front and the back seats they could save even more weight!
I'm with you on that Sully, nice OEM level fixed back seats for the Track Edition would've dropped another 100# and with those cars hitting $100k with any sort of option box ticked I think Lexus should've sprung for that. They put minimal development investment into the car, and it actually has the cheaper level running gear tweaked, so Lexus is definitely making a killing on the $20k hike in cost.
And it's a pain to get them out I have to tape up the mounts so they don't scratch the plastic

I honestly don't know of a full carbon fiber piece to replace. But I know some peoples do special order custom stuff. Typically, in my country, we also have a complete carbon bodyset for the RCF, it is not avaiblable to sell, but it looks very sexy.
What OP is doing is a thing I would do to my rcf too. Trying to shave off as much weight as possible. But with the strict laws I have around, I will probably hit a wall with the delete of oem seats.
Like for my IS300, I will probably try to lower the coilover weight, wheel weight and floating mass weight. It's the best to do, a discrete mod that offers lots of advantages in the field.
