is it worth the money to put the doors, decklid, doors, and fenders on in fiberglass? it will save about 300 lbs or more.

If it's a street car skip the doors, there are no crash bars in them and you can't really have roll up windows with them. I always like taking weight out of a car, not only does it make your car faster it also makes things less hard on the drive train during a launch.

for my car i may just do that one day but its not a DD. it will get costly tho for those few lbs. but also helps make a low powerd motor look alot better
