-How much weight will you increase in the front with a supercharger? :S
the intercooler, piping, water pump, etc...

- CF front fenders: The stock fenders probably weigh 3-4 lbs. each so not much room for any major improvements there. The SEIBON dry carbon might save a lb. or two, but I can almost guarantee that their regular carbon ones are at best, the same weight. They are 10mm wider though, which is awesome.

- CF racing mirrors: Haven't seen any 370Z specific ones yet, but as reference swapping the OEM 350Z mirrors to tiny, non-motorized Craftsquare mirrors saved 1 lb. each side.

- Supercharger system: Expect anywhere from 60-100 lbs. probably in added parts/fluids.
