Yes, that carbon piece around the gauge cluster is made by AAR as well as the hood and trunk.

After seeing our cost to manufacture the seats, I needed a

That is 100% beautiful!!! Do you think that it will be for sale in pieces so others can have it welded in?

If you would humor me here...

After applying the normal markup, what would the approximate retail of the Enzo seats per pair?

BTW, are you hiring?

100% carbon fiber? That would mean you're sittin on something with no cushioning.

I guess you mean it's made with carbon fibre, but certainly there's more than cf you're sitting on, right?

If that hood ever did get produced, I am interested. It looks really good with the Gialla bumper. I wonder how it would look with the CF C-West bumper.

Edit: Sparcoevo - PLEASE put me on whatever list is necessary.
My ***** Chris how did I know I'd see your post somewhere on the first page sayin Yes to the hood?!

Me too man. 10lbs, I'd be down. I'd drop $2k for that too. And I love that front end. Might have to go for that kit too assuming the rest looks as good and if those front ducts are somehow functional and can be ducted to the brake rotors.

Also those blacked-out headlights would look hot on a white, silver, yellow, or red car. I think the stock ones are best on blue and black though, imho.

The whole seat shell is CF - of course there is probably leather or alcantara plus some padding. I asked OG Racing out here about some all-carbon Sparcos, but I wouldn't be getting reclining Sparcos in full-carbon. I don't care about reclining though. JRock, you should remember how straight-up I sit...

Thank you all very much. We are trying very hard to build the "ultimate street/track car" and are trying to find creative ways to improve safety, performance and style of the already great EVO. We have to give credit to the guys at Apexi as they are sparing no expense to build a first class motor and performance package including their new Power FC for the EVO and inverted strut coil-over suspension.

Unfortunately, our cage builder can not build the cage in pieces and sell it for installation. It is rather complicated, but when he explained it, it seemed to make sense. The car is going to be featured in a popular aftermarket magazine that is documenting the full build up of the car. We can also take more details pics of the cage if someone wants to reproduce it.

The Carbon seats are actually going to be available for aftermarket consumers early next year. Right now, the ENZO seats are the only one's in existence, but are basically pre-production samples of our future carbon reclinable seats. We are trying to keep the retail price below $2000.00 each, and will keep everyone updated.

More pics will be posted in the next two weeks before SEMA and before everyone gets a look at the complete car.

those full cf seats are reclineable...there are race bucket seats that are full CF and carbon kevlar but they are all 1pc. seats


as for the cage...i would like a more in depth documentation on the build up of the cage so i can take the pictures and show them to a exhaust or metal shop and have them build it for me.

thanks

Please contact me ASAP to discuss building a second car very nearly the same as your car. Like I said earlier, everything you guys are doing is precisely what I wanted to do. I am very serious about this. Either PM me or e-mail me please.

Thanks,
Chris
