what's the different between a dry cf hood and a regular cf hood (wet?)?

Dry carbon uses considerably less resin to hold the layers of CF together and instead uses a high heat and high pressure oven to cure the CF. This results in a much lighter CF piece. It's also more labor intensive, so like Ruckus mentioned, it's a lot pricier!
