fiberglass fender weight
Today I took the driver's fender off and weighed it and then weighed a driver's side fiberglass fender. There was only a 3 pound difference. but... the steel fender was stripped down to metal in and out and the fiberglass fender is painted and has undercoat on it. I was surprised because i though the weight difference would be a little more. i guess the only real benefits of fiberglass fender is less of your car to rust and the ease of bolting it on.

Re: fiberglass fender weight
I would think the fiberglass fender would weigh more than the metal fender before undercoating and paint. Did you find the metal fender the lighter???
