Yeah a couple factors get involved - were these vacuum bagged parts specifically built to be lightweight ? and how thick and durable were the final parts ? (BTW did he say what they cost ?)
The few times I've seen weights on Anvil stuff it was light but not exceptionally so (because they build OEM style quality for one thing).
LIke I said I know Mustang fenders best, about 25 lbs apiece (and a little lighter when I'd done with them) on the early cars. The FG versions are 15 lbs, and I seem to remember the Anvils were around 12 lbs. Maybe they are a lot lighter than that, but I think Paul Brown's SN95 vacuum bagged built for lightness fenders were 4 lbs apiece, so that is about hte lower limit there, and I know Anvil's weigh more than that.
Anyway not trying to start a kefuffle or anything, I'm just riffing off of my own attempts to save weight it was very difficult to justify $1500+ pair of fenders that I can't repair to save 20 lbs, and I'm very curious to get real world weights on stuff.
