fiberglass hood

i'm looking to get a fiberglass hood for 2 reasons, 1 being that mine has a dent and a couple of chips in it, 2 being the fact that i like to shed weight, especially off the nose of the car,

Now i has heard that a stock metal z28 hood weighs around 50lbs? True?

the fiberglass hoods that i have found are around 19lbs, thats a good weight savings...........anyone weight the stock hood

You could relocate your battery to the trunk if you are really concerned about weight up front.
