Fiberglass body panels

Fiberglass body panels
Can someone point me in the direction of some fiberglas body panels for 99+ Chevy and GMC pick-ups? Anybody install some on their trucks? I've tried LMC, Summit, Jegs... all with no luck other than a damn hood.
I have a future project in the planning but need to cut some weight due to the addition of some steel hardware.
Also, which body parts on a street truck are not allowed to be fiberglass to meet NHRA rules if any?

Jordan: the only fiberglass parts that I've been able to find are:
Silverado fenders:

Silverado hoods:

Sierra hoods:

Sierra/Yukon fender:

Might check out VIS Racing (they have carbon fiber/fiberglass parts) and the Extreme Dimensions place. Sorry I don't have more...

You have to be careful with some fiberglass parts too. Not all of them are lighter than steel, especially if it's a "bolt on" affair. The real lightweight stuff is the what you can see through. It's the price you pay for weight.
Check out acid dipping and see if that's something that would work for you.

Thanks for the input guys! I'll check into those places when I'm off this gov't LAN line.
vanilla, not sure if acid dipping is going to help if all the panels are solid to start with? Is there a method I don't know about here? Also, would it be cost effective to include re-painting, and the S&H back and forth if not local?
