None of you people use your A/C anyway, take the whole thing out of your cars! You save a lot of weight doing that! Also, upgrade to a larger Master Cylinder and remove your brake booster. You don't have to worry about boost during EOC and you save a pile of weight. Those are easy mods that anybody with a socket set and some grey matter could do.
My track car has a full, one-piece fiberglass front end. That's hood, fenders and bumper all in one mold. The piece weighs about 25 pounds and looks GREAT. It also has flared fenders that stock wheels might not stick out of when turning, so they could be closed off. There are no holes anywhere in it. You could shave (estimated) 150+ lbs from a civic doing this. You'd have to cut holes for the lights and mount them, and fab some mounting hardware for the whole piece, but the weight reduction and aero benefits are huge. I believe that it is perfectly street-legal as well, as long as you have the lights installed.
ok, so i havn't read the article yet... about to do that now...
