Yeah, I'm sure a CF backing would drop and additional 4-5 lbs. The back reinforcement is quite substantial.

I just mounted it on the car and it looks good, but I think I'll have to (want to) remove the torsion bars on the back. Also I think might get a set of SRR trunk latches.

So are you happy with the weight reduction? Removing those bars should help I guess.

Looks good? SweeeT!

Stupis question, but those Torsion bars on the trunk are just there to help keep the trunk open correct?

Well you're a smart business man. Selling something for looks, and people buy it. If you know what you're market wants and can give it to them them you're a ******* brillant man.

No the lips are moving along I don't make them. But I can't take anything else anywhere to get things done with no engine.

Well Satan, I hope things work out for you. That sucks that you do so much for us with the cool stuff you make and now you're the one stuck. If I had a block I wasn't using I'd just GIVE it to you.
