I know there's been conversation regarding adding fiberglass FLARES to a street car and that's NOT my question in this thread. I'm wondering about running a street car with a FG front hood, rear deck lid and door skins (FG skinned/ OEM steel frames)? Is there anyone out there running this type of configuration? or Is this just a crazy talk?

I have these pieces (in the classified along with other FG items) but was thinking - what if I ran the hood, lid and doors on my 1.7 project for a better power/weight ratio - because why not? thoughts?
