Question ~!Post weights of carbon fiber body pieces & stock & aftermarket body panels (f-body)

I have always wondered about how aftermarket carbon fiber pieces compare in weight to stock pieces.

I have seen carbon fiber hoods, hatches, doors, fenders, and bumpers but never any weights. Stock weights for these pieces I can't find either (except stock hoods). post up if you know or have weighed these. or know the weights. NO GUESSING.

That's a sticky in the drag racing tech section. I have never seen carbon fiber fenders and doors, and I wouldn't trust them anyway. Our body panels are light enough anyway

The fronts yeah.. The CF doors save a good bit of weight though. These WERE on sale a while ago.

Wow-good reference guide, I've been planning some weight reduction mods but don't want to strip the car out-I like comfort & speed - I just can't afford a Viper ACR OR ZR1

Thank you
