Question Aluminum vs Fiberglass hardtop

I have only seen very little information about comparison of aluminum factory hardtop vs. fiberglass one (http://www.gtmotorsport.net/index.ph...t&page=Hardtop) . And i have decided to post in this section because there are alot of people that know about fiberglass parts. So I am planning on getting hardtop soon for DE events and Track because I don’t want to get KB roll bar extension to pass broom test since in few years I will prepare my car for BSR. So I would like to know which one is lighter, incase of accident how would each behave, and anything else that someone might know?

You may want to look at the rules for track driving. Some oranizations (PCA) require the use of wrist restraints when in an open top car or a car with a non metal roof.
