How heavy does a normal Bodykit weigh?

[Eazterence]

I have this question in my mind. I'm actually going to do up a bodykit for my FL N16. However, I'm afraid to see great increase in my FC. So roughly how heavy does a 4 piece bodykit, consisting of Front and Back Bumper Lid and Side Skirts, weigh?

 

Anybody with b4 and after mildege clocked b4? =)

insignificant impact on FC. A sack of rice may be.

A sack of rice. Then I think its alright. PU and fibreglass, which is lighter? Anyway. thanks alot for your respond. =)

1. I've full bodykit on my ES5, don't see changes in FC before and after bodykit. PU is lighter. You're most welcomed.

 

2. Actually, your concern should be aerodynamic drag. Well designed bodykit suppose to diffuse drag/resistance when travelled at high speed.

Yes, PU is more flexi than FG. But FG is supposedly heavier and stronger though it doesn't flex as much as PU. From what I know, FG is also easier to repair than PU too. I've a mixture of both on my car.

Oh I see.. Think I'd still go for the lighter alternative. Haha..

I thought PU is the heaviest meterial among bodykits material?

Nope, FG is heavier.
