My old Xenon front was way heavier then my OEM front.

Basically, Urethane kits are heavier then OEM.... but fibreglass will be lighter.

Yeah urethane is heavier than stock...Tsunami front weighs a noticeable difference when you pick it up...

If your looking for gains though, you wont find **** in a body kit, lighter or heavier..

probably depends on which kit you get... i guess generally more square looking ones hurts aerodynamics like maybe r34/octane kit... and lip kits like aero kit might help... don't think it would affect that much..
and yeah, urethane kits are heavy...

come on get real?
no doesn’t effect it at all!
Shish! you know the old Porsche turbo whale tail 995 version back in 97 and earlier
the new one 01+ with its sleek looks has only a .2 difference in drag coefficient.
meaning no wont do crap to your car!

Its not like you have a corvette or a 911 turbo with a top speed close to 190mph. Thats when it counts..
