Would imagine it depends on who made the components... Crappy ones can actually be heavier.

Default Welp my hood weighs around 12-15lbs and the trunk 8lbs....
I think the stock hood was around 40 lbs or so and the trunk in the high 30's 36-38 or so. Pretty significant if you get both. I would go with seats first though if I had to do over again.
