Default Fiberglass or other lightweight body kits

Do u guys plan to develop serious body kits or just pretty looking bumpers and side skirts?

How much would it cost to develop a full fiberglass or similar ultra-lightweight complete body kit (including front & rear bumpers, 4 doors, trunk, hood with CAI scoop option, and the front fenders and the rear quarter panels) for my Sephia?

It's a 97 Sephia LS (1.8L) and the manual says it weighs 3500lbs (other sources say it's only 26?? lbs.... and by common sense yes....). So i am guessing...... if i replace all the body metal with light weight stuff..... i can loose a lot of lbs. Since less lbs to haul around and same HP to pull... that would mean a faster car....

Please tell me how much it would cost as a Complete kit.... and also as seperate (due to money restraints) parts.... (like... 4 doors only, trunk only, hood only, quarter panels only.... u get the idea)

Thanks a lot guys

u mean 1200+ JUST for the trunk and then 1800+ JUST for the hood?

and if it's JUST the front AND rear fenders it's only 800+?
