Default R vs RS, shell-wise

the rs doesnt have a sunroof (and doesnt have pilot lights? captain lights?)
is this good enuff structure-wise for a roadracing shell...
or would it be better to look for an R shell

I believe R's shell has several re-inforced areas... don't know exactly where. However, if you're looking for a racing shell, I don't see why RS won't work... afterall, you'll be putting in a full 6/8-pt cage + some.

Basically the same. The R's do have some reinforcements in certain areas that the other cars do not get though.

The R is reinforced on the subframe where the anti-roll bar mounts are. There's also another place(s?) but I don't recall where.
