blueovalz Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Thanks a heap. Any weight on the lower valance panel and turn signals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 RacerX, also weigh the vent panel under the windshield if you can too. Then I can make a comparison for my entire front clip (which weighs 85 lbls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 It kinda takes the wind out of your sail when the fiberglass treatment is only a 20% weight savings. But, the fiberglass can be made much lighter, but the sacraficed strenght is not an option. When it gets right down too it, the aesthetic potential of fiberglass parts is the primary motivation toward such, and not necessarily the weight savings.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Makes me wonder if its worth it to go fiberglass (just for weight reduction not as body design statement), those parts are lighter than I thought they would be. Maybe save what 30-45 lbs total going glass, maybe more? Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
