Only once I have seen a carbon fibre hood for a Subaru WRX, I picked it up and it weighed around 10 lbs. I guess if we convert the SVX trunk to CF, it should weigh maximum around 13 lbs which is excellent in my opinion.
Concerning the looks, one can always paint it black not to look so ricey especially on the SVX.
But I guess you will might all loose the "spoiler" privilege, since its weight and the pressure cause by air flow might crack it with time (I might be wrong here, sorry no experience with that material before...).
