Message	It's already aluminum and very light and inexpensive. Fenders - meh, not that much weight savings to be had there either. The Z32 is a grand touring vehicle; weight was not a main consideration in its design. That said, there are far better, easier, cheaper ways to cut weight. The seats are the main one. ________________Sig Separator________________________ ATTN: Zuberman The above message is not sponsored by my employer.
