GTA vs. Base model hood weight

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a weight difference between the GTA or Trans Am hood with the louvers or the base model hoods. I know if really dosn't matter, because it's more of the visual efect of it.

I would think that the GTA one is lighter since there is less metal, but since there is some metal under the vents, it might offset it.
I have a GTA/Trans Am hood sitting in my backyard that I could weigh, as well as an 84 Trans Am powerbulge hood. I don't happen to have a flat style hood though, but I will in a couple of weeks.
