If better handling means making the back end heavier since there's nothing left to pull out from the front then why not even put a sub woofer box back there on top of the spare tire and make it nice and heavy? Sure acceleration suffers but essentially that would give you a better weight balance correct?
what i'm saying was, that's an awful lot of work and risk for such a small amount of weight loss, especially when it's from the wrong end of the car. in this case a carbon fiber hood actually makes more sense
