Nills, is that the Trunk with Wing? Or just the bare trunk?

Thats what I want to know? With a wing, I don't think the weight loss would be a lot at all, I could be mistaken...
BTW, I love your hood pins, was it hard to modify?

We did not run our SCCA Champion Evo, as there was _a lot_ of complaining from the competition about its being included in this 'street car' event. At the producer's request, we ran my street commuter Evo, which was plenty fast and scored exceptionally in the judges scoring, but component failure took us out of the event. As far as speed, there was nothing there that can run with the racecar.

It took alot of effort to install those hood pins, but mainly cause it was the first time. Robi has a template set up now so I think he could install them in a couple of hours.

I would recommend to have a pro install them.
