Lightweight body panels?

Lightweight body panels?
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has found a source for CF or other lightweight body panels? Fenders, hood, doors, etc? I'm wanting to offset the extra weight from an engine swap and I've got to pull 150 lbs out of the front of the thing. Car is an '87.
Second question, are the Megan S13's the cheapest coilover kit we can get? I bookmarked the page about modifying S13 coilovers to fit the Z31 at a fraction of the price of actual 300zx parts, and I'm just wondering what the most economical route would be for that.
I just picked up the car a few weeks ago and this is my first post, so I really appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks all!

It's got an Oldsmobile 455 (mild cam, KB pistons, K heads) hooked up to a TH400 (shift kit, B&M Super Shifter) running through the stock diff. It's probably going to blow up the diff soon but I'll deal with that when it happens.
I'm working on fabbing a sheet metal wing to plant the back down a bit but I'd like to take some weight off of the front. It's looking like I'm gonna have to make a buck out of some wrecking yard body parts and make my own CF panels. That's just more work than I wanted to do...
Edit: Didn't mention that the 455 is turbo'd.
