Mustang fenders dont weight that much.. Just take out your a/c. A new hood helps too.

Very detailed indeed, but if you're rich then go all out and ditch your standard Mustang construction and go all out by using a full carbon fibe body, ditching unnecessary items, stiffing up the entire frame with carbon fiber, and adding in lightweight components where ever possible. Granted your construction will resemble a Ferrari more than a Ford, but you'll be light as hell, get better MPG, and be a lot faster.

www.yomamma.comFor quality CF parts andxxx toys.

If you are looking for CF parts that arent typical then its best to find a business that HAND LAYS the CF and have them custom fab some items for you.

Roush has a couple CF company contacts that I am sure they will refer to you if you are serious.

They will need your car for test fitting.
