Alternative Lightweight Bumpers?
My bumpers are basically toasted after an incident I had, and I have decided that the car should convert to all out track mode.
Now, instead of putting on stock replacements, I am researching lightweight alternatives. A few typical places have a fiberglass version, but is anything else out there?
I would love to have flimsy panels that go on with 1/4 turn fasteners like I have seen on race cars.
Would such a thing have to be custom made?

Fiberglass, Trueflex, or urethane.
I suspect that is your answer from lightest to heaviest. The fiberglass is also the least durable, doesn't take hits well.
Check Toledo Pro for availability of lightweight body panels.
