You're right Marv.... my US Bodyworks "one piece" is a WELL built piece...."STREET GRADE" which is STILL "lots" lighter than all of the STOCK/Steel stuff it replaced. When I have to move the fiberglass frontend around I can do it by myself.

With the "one piece" tilt I do plan to not only have it "tilt" but also be able to be completely "removed" ....STILL gotta firgure that out?????

I know the "race weight" parts that are made by US BODYWORKS (and others)are even "lighter" than what I have but I'm OK with what I have. Like has been said "ever little bit helps".
