Any idea how much weight is saved by going to FG hood, trunk and bumpers?

Of course I forgot to weigh my hood and trunk before I put them back on the car.

Thanks,

A lot.

If you get the hood that doesn't have the front corners cut out for the headlights, you can cut/remove all the headlight pieces. (motors, lights, the sheetmetal box, wiring, etc etc). So you're able to save weight on the hood and on the headlight stuff. A stock front hood with hardware (hinges, latch) is 35-40 and a f/g is around 10-12.

Rear trunk stock is 30-35 with hardware. F/g is 10-12.

The f/g bumpers weight somewhere around 5-8 pounds and I'd say the early stock front one are 25-30 pounds and the rear 15-20.

This is just what I remember not actual weight. Someone here may have actuals. I'm changed both my front and rear hoods so weightng them now wouldn't give you the the true weight verses stock.
