aar makes a glass bolt on trunk lid.I don't know how much of a savings it is but I have one and it is very nice



I have an AAR as well. Can hardly tell the difference from steel.
Only issue was the lock did not fit. I had to grind the lock wider for the clip to slide in keep it in place. (fiberglass was thicker than steel) I removed the springs to keep from cracking it. I am not sure of the what I saved in weight, but I saved a ton in money, plus my steel trunk lid does not weight 30lbs. (I am guessing)

A stock 70 dart trunk lid is supposed to weigh 45lbs, and the glass one I am looking at from Unlimited is 15lbs, so a solid 30lbs if those numbers don't include hinges. I think thats pretty good
