umm fibre glass boot/bonnet
maybe even try some plexiglass windows doubt u could get fibreglass side 1/4 panels removing the rear seats. other than that without drastic mods it be heavy or save u trouble add a blower

carbon fiber is very expensive by the time u get it fabricated u would have been better off putting that blower on.
what are u looking to do with ur car make it faster 1/4 times or quicker around a race track? u can save time by just getting ur weight distrabution better also, eg move battery to boot, ect |

Fibreglass is a much cheaper alternative to that overpriced rice also known as carbon fibre.

Lose the spare.
Rip out interior panels, lose the rear and passenger seats... Rip out all carpet and sound deadening. Take out anything you don't use or need. But then you end up with no comfort, no practicality, and a car that looks ugly as f**k inside.
