    VFN fiberglass , has the front and rear window in lexan should save you 100-150LBs, my front tub K and lower A arms were about 50-60LBS from stock , fiberglass hood saved about 20lBS, upper A arms are about the same as stock or about 2-3lBS difference , I just wanted to match the lower A arms. VFN fiberglass even have a shell of the car that weighs 135LBS but its $4500 or something like that. Theres a start, also my Spearco seats weigh about 20lbs lighter than stock total with brackets.

          Mines the racing version, lightest your going to get before the came out with the other K , and I got the lower A arms from them too. I would say with the A arms and K member total since we took the K and stock A arms out together, I think total about 55-60LBs and then I added the QA-1's which the package deals claim with all tub. and QA-1's a 75LB weight loss. K member at least 40 lbs, I could pickup the tubular K with A arms attached with 1 hand and the stock K and A arms I couldn't move it at all, I'm 6'4 280lbs and this was before my back problems.

                  Brent franker doesn't have any new stuff on his site its all old, no K members glass weight or anything, but VFN does tell you how much the body parts weigh for shipping so it gives you a idea of what the difference might be. I know I found one thread where the guy said it was like 65lB difference for the rear glass going to Lexan and like 45-50Lb difference for the front and the side window were like 10-15lbs, But it also depends on if you choose 1/8th or 3/8th glass with scratch resistance, could be wrong it was awhile ago when I was doing a list to lighten my car.
