fiber glass swap

ive got i 74 duster and i think i want to swap out the bumpers and hood for fiberglass ones. how much weight can i expect to drop by doing two bumpers, bumper mounts, and lift of hood swap? thanks!

Around 180-200 lb for every thing depending on if you use a pin on or lift off hood.

pin on hood is what i will probably go with.

You will need a set of light weight hood hinges for it or the tension of the stock ones will brake the glass hood when you try and close it.

i mean pin on lift off. no hinges.

O lol. Going to need some hood pins then. 4 of them at a minimum. One on each corner.
