I am not hard core on the tenths of pound or ounces. My view is if I am going to replace a part or piece why not buy the lightweight item but there is a limit to how much cash I will burn thru to lose a pound..But that doesn't stop me from doing stupid stuff like Fiberglass fenders $$Lol. While it's tongue in cheek it is true. Another hobby of mine is cycling. It's a strange crowd and some are obsessed with weight shavings. Nothing wrong with that, it's a hobby so whatever works. In the cycling world they refer to themselves as "weight weenies".
I have two friends that are weight weenies. They are always looking to save fractions of a gram on their bike. Both of them are about 30lbs over weight lol.
These are Jase fenders .I had to cut the inner fender lip off where it would bolt to the front clip so I could bolt the fenders on the lip was so bad warped it would crack when bolted down .So I had to just cut it off and use the metal structure off of a OEM fender and rivet it on to the fiberglass structure I have not donen that yet ..I have not completely fitted them up but everything else seems reasonable as far as fit and finish ...How is the fit and finish of 'fiberglass' fenders
I get it. Have you looked into lithium ion batteries? You can probably find one in the 12-16 lb range compared to a 40-50 lb lead acid. They behave a bit different and take some getting used to. But they are light for sure.I am not hard core on the tenths of pound or ounces.

Oh yeah I just have not bought a battery yet but when the car is not up in the air I will drop the $$ ..I am looking now for lighter seats , wheels , hood , and misc items here and there to drop weight. But if money was no object aluminum engine block..I get it. Have you looked into lithium ion batteries? You can probably find one in the 12-16 lb range compared to a 40-50 lb lead acid.

I've used them in motorcycles before. When I got my first one I thought they shipped me an empty box. Seriously. Check out anti gravity.
