What you guys are saying is that my 05GT hood is lighter than an aftermanket hood?

Probably yes.
My 06 was made in 9-05 and it's AL.

The 05 and early 06 hoods were aluminum and very light indeed. Sometime during the 06 production run they changed the hood to steel and it is significantly heavier.
Does anyone have a link for this? I find it hard to believe.
Mine was made in early Feb, 2006. Factory hood is aluminum and weighs a good deal less than the aftermarket Kaenen hood. Are you suggesting the '07s are steel as well?

I actually have Cervini's ram air hood and it is MUCH heavier than the stock hood.

Put a magnet to your hood. I did. Mine is an 06 and it is definitly NOT steel.

I never had the stock hood so I couldnt tell you. This hood isnt terribly heavy but I sure like the way it looks so in the end it wouldnt have made any difference
