    I believe he is asking which body is lighter, the Hairy Glass Mustang or the Roush Monte Carole; the chutes would be a constant so their weight isn't relevant. I believe the Monte by Roush is lighter but I could be wrong. The biggest weight savings would be having a professional mount everything and building a titanium tree.

    weight

    As Brandon says, how much it weighs when you get done depends on who mounts it, hardware used, etc.

    I think the Hairy Glass mold is a lot cleaner than the Monte Carlo mold - I have run both. You technically don't have to put filler on either one, but you can slap a wrap on a Hairy body and its smooth. The Monte Carlo has a lot of seams in the mold, so you either have to use filler or have seams in your paint/wrap job. If you get it painted, how much paint the painter uses has a big influence.

    The shipping weight on the last wrap we used was like 17 lbs I believe....with the box.
