Well the shell is made from steal as are most the body parts and stuff like bumpers and ground effects are made from urethane and fiberglass.

If you still have a sticker on your door jam (drivers side), it'll tell you the weight of your car. Unless you've made mods to it, it'll be accurate.

thanks, for the info, I got in an argument with a friend who said that my entire car was made of fiberglass, which it obviously is not, heck just knock on the sail panels and it sounds like "metel"

anyways thanks
