Paint and Body Bumper bracket weight savings....

So while I have the bumper off the 82, I got the idea that the steel bumper brackets/absorbers are heavy. Anyone know of an aluminium or other lightweight replacement?

I've used MAF Racing lightweight bumper supports on 3 of my autocross cars (Fox & SN95). I've been very happy with the quality of the parts. They make one that fits 79-86 Mustangs. Here's a link:

For an four eye, does anyone have just aluminum replacements for the shock mounts, and, or, if you use the replacement brace, how do you mount the parking lights.

I already have the alum bumpers
