it is, if you search for a thread i started with carbon weights as your searches you should see a pretty good list of cf lid weights.

Guess CF is a style more than function when it comes to interior?

Is your cf hood more than 16#? If it is, you wasted your $$.

there's nothing better than a well made cf seat, most worthy seats weigh only 8 pounds which is crazy. such seats are the sparco s-lite, momo cup cf, any of the various brides in cf and any of the various recaros.

the stock seats are closer to 36 pounds, after mounting hardware on a typical fiberglass seat you're saving very little. but every little bit counts i suppose.

the link i provided shoes the weight losses of buying real cf body parts, the numbers are pretty good, nothing phenomenal but still worthy if one is pursuing the ultimate.

Wow Dean you really need to settle down. I have never worked with Matt from Slick Motorsports. You are thinking of somebody else.

Oh and "**** stick" i was referring to the cooper lines you said you were going to run becuase of the straight methonal you were going to use.

And about the cf rally stuff, come on. Your trying to be a dyno/drag queen, not a wrc driver. It seems like you constintly keeping modding your car but no #'s??

I would bet the Kevlar ACD guard, Kevlar Sump guard & Kevlar fuel tank guard are 100% functional Rally parts, 0% style/looks
