I am using these parts as a tool for distribution until I move onto a hatch and doors. Little things like gas latches and door handles can be ignored for now. The sunroof plug is pretty sweet for sure! I wanted to get the piece that just replaces the glass and let me still open it (yes I adore my sunroof with no a/c). Many of these parts I may use my own spools of carbon and Kevlar to attempt vacuum bagging and making.

9-15lbs savings on the fenders? I would never have thought there would be that much of a difference.

Yea that's the draw back. I've been looking at a 4 point or something that I could use for harnesses, and allow for carbon door safety.

I am estimating this with the arm scale but I felt that the crap buildup on the old ones didn't help either. Plus the hardware required was a bit lighter duty as well.
