I would not recommend this....

On an E36 M3, the hood saves you 30 lbs, the trunk lid 20-25lbs.

So call it 60lbs, not a big deal on a 4000 lbs car.

The E36 Hood is like 800-900 bux, the trunk is like 6-700.

Figure painted with install $2000 for 60bls. If you lightnen your wheels, you'll notice it more because that weight is rotational.

and BTW, these parts do not have have the factory/fit finish of steel stuff.

I have a carbon hood on my race car....

On a race car best bang for the buck on weight is "gutting" the doors...removing power windows, glass, and putting lexan rear windows in the car.
