Often, the fiberglass parts aren't really concerned with part integrity and weight, people just think it's cool to have fiberglass parts, and marketing makes sure they're "cool" parts.*

*Cool is an opinion, not a fact. What they produce is what they feel is "cool", then through clever marketing, they make consumers think it's what every other consumer is going to buy as well. It's a genius strategy, just look at auto manufacturers.*
I'd actually prefer carbon fiber because i love the look of it but i don't know how the heck i would find those parts for THIS car
