Default fiberglass bed or panels

I figured that all the pre runner guys have fiberglass stuff soo..

If they made stock form hoods, fenders, maybe even a fiberglass bed, thats gotta shave off a ton of weight and get you moving fast in the quarter. Any ideas? I know there are some fiberglass hoods but they are mostly cowl or scoops. I really like the stock panels and hood as far as form, just thinking of ways to drop weight without looking stupid(i.e. going to the track without a bed )

Any ideas or input?

Some of the stepside beds are made of a composite material. They are about 200 lbs lighter than the steel beds.
