I don't know about camaro or mustang fenders but there is a guy on yellow bullet who just made some carbon fiber fenders for a 70-73 firebird. I could see shedding 40-50 pounds if it is true as to what he said.
"First, the good stuff. Pics and video of the finished fenders. Fenders are meant to bolt into the stock locations using stock mounting hardware. These are some BIG ASS fenders, but came out weighing just 9.1 pounds each. The stock fenders are 33.4 pounds each, for a savings of 24.3 pounds each and almost 50 pounds altogether!!! They could have been even lighter if not for the fact that the customer wanted them to appear stock and bolt into the stock locations."
