have a brief look into and they are so light as standard there is little to gain and therefoe there are few options..

I have a 97 one cut for a fmic with splitter if any use to you

As above, they don't exactly weigh a lot and changing it for a naff fiberglass one that'll crack and probably look awful is a really bad idea IMO.
