    The fiberglass Grabber cowl hood that I purchased from Jimmy2gates is 25 pounds lighter than a stock steel Grabber hood, and I am sure the one I got from Jimmy weighs a little more than most fiberglass hoods due to the construction of it

    I don't know how much mine weighs but I just reach in the scoop and lift it off easily with one hand. :)
