I was wondering how the car and I would be affected, by having F/G lids and bumpers, in a crash. I would love to have the weight savings of F/G for if I do track days etc but I don't know if it'd be worth it from a safety standpoint on the street. Since my car mostly a streetcar. Thanks for any advice. I know there are C/F lids too, those are a lot of $$ however and they might splinter in a crash anyway (not sure though).
