Chassis mod

Anyone knows where I can buy or have someone fabricate either composite or possibly aluminum hood and trunk lid for a 07 Grand Prix 3.8L V6? I'm trying to put my car on a diet.

First and foremost, when replying to a post use full words, this ain't a AOL chat room. Second, there are aluminum hoods avaliable for certain models. Third, Grand Prix is not a race car, it's a confused sedan.
Mine got plenty of power, 207BhP is enough. Besides I live in Florida so a Moped is plenty fast to compete with most drivers here, and the reason I want to make it lighter is so that it handles better and gets better gas milage.

Re: Chassis mod

Can I get a coherent response from someone who doesn't flip burgers, bag groceries, or mix concrete for a living? I've typed more coherent essays with my wang.
