Default Weight of body pannels

Does anyone have a list of the weight of each individuial body pannel?

Front bumper (mounting hardware with/without)
Rear bumper (ditto)
Hood
Hatch
Front and rear quarter pannels
Doors (with hardware/ without)

Also weight of glass on hatch?

Thanks for the insight.

there's a 30lb. crash bar in each door so I would figure they weigh about 40-45 lbs. a piece

yep, you can pull out the crash support in them and they're about as light as fiberglass doors.

Call me CRAZY, but I think thats about the last place Im going to take weight off. I was already in a side impact in a friend's mustang and the drivers seat just about became my (passenger) seat as well.

Granted it was a SN95, but still. (couldnta happened to a nicer car )




Dont worry, it all buffed out.
