Not sure about the hood or the trunk, but I do know that the fenders would totally NOT be worth it. They only weigh like a pound.
There is a lot you can do before you have to spend a grand to lose 50lbs.

Or you could always try searching, or placing an inquiry with the manufacturer.

If you wanna spend 1300 on weight reduction stuff, there is a better way to increase your power/weight ratio. It is called a turbocharger. I've heard on this forum that it can be pieced together for about 1400. Maybe that should be your route instead of spending that much money for 50lbs. Also, take the crap out of your trunk that you may lug around. And you could take the back seats out just for race day.
