Fiberglass pros and cons?

I have been searching the web and reading the forums trying to find ways to reduce weight on the 968. Found GT Racing and it seems you could almost build an entire 968 out of fiberglass. That sounds very appealing when I think of the huge wait savings that could be had yet i searched the forum and no one really seems to mention anything about it. What exactly am I missing? Is there some extremely obvious reason that everyone avoids these? I was throwing around the idea of finding a second 968 in a salvage yard with some slight damage and replacing as many pieces as I could with the GT racing body panels and then repainting the whole car. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would really appreciate some info thanks!
