how much do fenders weigh?
im looking at the Unlimited Products website and fiberglass fenderes only weigh 8 pounds.
one of my fenders needs to be replaced come spring, so was thinking possibly just replacing both fenders, car needs to go for paint anyways so they could prep the fiberglass to fit perfect.
cost difference is 80 bucks vs 200
i guess worst case cenario ill pull my fender off and weighit right before i order the new parts, but was wondering if anyone had an idea how much metal fenders weigh
and wouldnt mind some opinions on wether people think its worth it.
car is partially a street car but would also like to get into some competitive solo1 stuff

stock metal fenders dont weigh very much, your really not saving much weight by gettin fiberglass ones
