does anyone know the weight of a stock hood and trunk compared to the weight of fiberglass pieces? is it worth the money to save a mere few pounds?

Other then getting a neat looking hood...trunk lid is pointless probably.

Just buy a can of black spray paint. Everyone around here seems to do that to their cars. Much cheaper than buying a hood/trunk.
