CF Hood
CF front and rear bumpers,
CF front fenders,
CF door Skins
CF Rear Hatch(no wing or wiper)
CF Seats
CF dash
CF engine bay mounts (some misc ones like the ecu mount and some other crap...)
His Next Project is a CF Sun Roof
thats 800lbs directly off the car and it doesn't look like ***(IE a stripped interior etc)

doors with windows , trunk, hood and bumpers dont even add up to 800lbs
thats 1/3 of the mass of the whole car, and he lost it by replacing them with cf?
i dont buy it
heres what I think he might have lost:
CF Hood 15-20lbs
CF front and rear bumpers, 100-150lbs
CF front fenders, maybe 5lbs each
CF door Skins 10-20lbs each
CF Rear Hatch(no wing or wiper) 10lbs??
CF Seats 10-20lbs each
CF dash 15-25lbs
CF engine bay mounts?? not match
when you multiply it those numbers x2, youre still nowhere close to 800lbs
do you know how much he spend on all those cf parts?

wow carbon fiber is way cool if it costs like 100 bux. but so over it 2 grand for a body kit and a hood and truck is a waste. just my opinion. and the monster trunk is 25 lbs lighter than stock. thats what vivid has on their site.

that doesn't add up to 800lbs ***. there are race cars that have full dry carbon bodies and gutted interiors that haven't lost 800lbs. you're an idiot.
