hold tight for prices.
Is "composits" supposed to be spelled wrong?

I'd be interested to see if the cars balance changes with 15.5 lbs off the back.

just curious, i think a 1 core one of 18 ounce would more than do the job, just didn't know what other people were thinking.

AAR and sparco already did this 1 lb lighter stronger and TWICE the PRICE.

No the prepreg "dry" carbon hood and trunk were both lighter and stronger than these wet carbon parts.... but they also cost twice as much...
