i didn't weigh it before installing, but it definitely felt lighter, my guess would be 1-2kgs.
some are heavier due to the amount of fibreglass there is behind it, but mine is very thin, and has almost no bracing underneath.
i really need to take a pic of it and i will eventually.
also fitted the manualised Power steering rack the other day, made it a bit nicer:)

Got em from Mr Dewa in Japan, which was a bit of a story in itself..
So I spotted them in a Road&Ster magazine, and thought, yeah nice, I want them. So on one work trip to Tokyo, our translator in Japan calls AWD and says we would like a set.
Dewa-san says, sure, give me an address.
Our trans asks, \"what about payment? How would you like it?\"
Dewa-san responds, \"its ok, take them first, if you like them then you can pay me.\"
a day or so later they come, wrapped in the most immaculate packaging I've ever seen. So much care was taken, and everything was individually wrapped, taped and wrapped again, I was totally blown away.
Needless to say, we paid him quickly.
A year or so later a forum-ite met up with Dewa-san, and gave him the story I did on his faces in Auto Salon Magazine, it apparently brought him to tears. He was honoured that his humble work was in an international publication.
Just one reason why I love Japan.

Aussie ones go to 220? JDM go to 180.
Dewa make faces which go on top of the factory ones, for both 220 and 180 speedos. the ones i liked and bought were only for the 180kmh so i got a JDM instrument cluster from mx5mania.
I popped it open, replaced the dials with the AWD ones, and roberts my fathers brother. Yes, the pointers were rotated slightly, but they all read true, I used a GPS to check that the speedo was still accurate. and it does go up to 190-200km/h
he makes a massive range of various faces, for both NA and NB, even RX8 as well, and I think NC now.
