In preparation for the up-coming KDW Challenge WORKS partnered up with Seibon to give our EVO X a new look. We took delivery of the parts yesterday and quickly got them onto the X. We haven't done an official weigh-in yet but we estimate around 300-400 lbs in weight savings using Seibon Carbon Fiber front and rear doors, rear wing, hood, front lip and +10mm wide front fenders. It doesn't look too shabby either. We should also give a big nod to Autopower who hooked us up with a custom bolt-in roll cage and rushed it out so that we could get it installed before heading to Vegas.

Let us know what you think.

 

is your carbon hood dry carbon? i weighed the aluminum hood and the wet carbon hood, and the alumimum hood is actually lighter...only a pound lighter, but lighter nonetheless.

 

I can see weight savings in the doors but the stock aluminum hood and fenders are already pretty light.

 

The Doors are definitely where the weight savings comes in. OEM doors are extemely heavy. The fenders and hood are probably no gain vs the aluminum pieces but we get the extra fender width and the hood completes the look. Since we are heading to a national ad campaign looks certainly plays a part. I believe all the parts are wet carbon.

 

nice man i got the same lip hood and wing plus the trunk and rear diffuser from them the roof is next and then door just cant see spending 2k a set right now and siebon dont sell singles so if u break one u have to buy both again its so gay happend to my fenders one got broke in shipping so i have to wait for a hole new set

and if u didnt but heat shields and stuff back on u will save about that did u take the liner out off the inside of the trunk that crab weight way to much

 

Do you know the before and after weight of the vehicle?

 

Why wasn't there more advertising done for the "KDW Challenge"? You car looks awesome, but do you have any more info on this event? The website you posted doesn't have much info (that I could find).

Thanks
