I'm assuming none of the foam that's under the stock engine cover.... Do you have weight comparisons?
I realize this more aesthetic than anything else..

With the stock cover being plastic I'd guess they're nearly identical weight? CF cover might even be a bit heavier?

That's my thought too... Cut off the foam and it can't be that heavy... But you may melt it..

Since the charge pipes & intake pipe are also plastic... I'm thinking there will be more pressing problems if there's enough heat to melt the cover (since they're closer to the block and turbo - though they get much more airflow as well). ;)

That AMS cover looks sweet however, and I'm tempted as the price is very fair. I'm just not 100% sure if I like the matte finish. GLWS regardless. It's definitely a more than fair deal.

Most likely different material though.. Anyway, before we create a tangent, just wondering if AMS had any input on secondary advantages of their cover

According to their website:
Lightweight and aesthetically appealing, the AMS Performance 2020+ Toyota GR Supra Carbon Fiber Engine Cover is engineered to give your B58 engine a high-performance look while shedding over half of the weight.
The stock cover is incredibly light so I find that somewhat amazing if true. In any case they also mention holding up better in high heat... so both advantages are mentioned. Obviously not going to make it any faster, but sure looks pretty.

Impressive! Wish that was un-sprung weight loss, but for a "dress-up piece" 50%+ reduction is still fantastic.
