I think it would still be lighter, but the weight reduction is not going
to adversely affect the handling or the traction.
What is it, 20 lbs or so?

Whenever I've removed weight from the front end, like removing the A/C,
it has always improved the handling.

I'm all for something that's lighter, won't rust, and can be bolted on.

Does anyone sell fiberglass Mk.1 fenders?
