The factory steel fenders are not that much heavier than aftermarket fiberglass ones, there just isn't a lot of material to them. You need to find a better supplier for pricing though. If you know anyone that works at a body shop, ask them to get you a price from their supplier. I say that because up here there is a wholesaler that sells parts to body shops, and for example I got new fenders for a Tracker I had for $28 each. Sure they were crappy Chinese made, but for $28 it's cheaper than bondo and spray paint to fix your old ones! If they are that cheap up here, you guys must be able to get them even cheaper there. As for the other items, a wrecked 1st gen Insight would be a great source for lightweight seats and wheels for you.
