i wouldnt bother with the fenders as theyre lite anyways. the hood is definately heavy though. heres a source for a FB hood and a chart to tell you weights:

Is the ISC glass hood exactly the same as the stock hood? I was wondering if I could use the stock hinges and latch with that hood.

its shaped like the stock hood. as for using the stock mounts...not a good idea. its real light and pretty thin. at speeds up to 80mph it starts to 'flop' rigorously. it also depends on direction of wind ur going against.

I'm in the same boat, looking to shave as much weight off my car as possible for auto-x. The stock hood is not light, and I would like a light weight option as well.
