Default WW Kit weight?

Just curious to how much weight the Wings West body kit will add to the CRX? Has anyone weighed their car before and after that has one? I'm just kind of weight conscious..... (I already have the FAL windows). But I like how clean the WW kit is and eliminates the molding all around the car.

i never weighed mine before install...but maybe you can ask someone who is selling them online cause you have to weigh it to ship it.

I'm interested in a WW kit for my hatch, it just seems to expensive, even on ebay they run above 600, any idea where I could get a better price?

Fiber glass is like a feather weight. Problem is if you bump a curb good bye kit

i have a real ww fiberglass kit from way back in the day, havent put it on my crx yet but i have taken of the front a rear bumper covers just to compare (dont have a scale though) it seems to me that the fiberglass is lighter for the front a rear bumpers but if you think about the sideskirts and doorcaps thats gonna be where the extra wieght over stock comes into play. the caps themselves are pretty heavy. just FYI.

The full urethane kit is heavy and I would guess it is closer to 100 pounds. What I would recommend is to get the front pumper in urethane and the rest in fiberglass. I have already hit a few curbs and parking blocks and I am glad I had a urethane front bumper.
