Sweet. I'll probably be buying one then. I get to cut out my own ducting holes with that, right? Based off the pictures of the other ones they sell on that site...

If you're going to these lengths, will it be a standard, or widebody? Seems like a natural for a widebody. Everyone would need to agree on a lighting configuration, underbody treatment, and openings for IC/brake ducts/ etc. If it complemented the Tripoint/Jun/Raceon widebody, I'd be interested. Keep in mind, the weight savings over seperate pieces will be negligible IMHO. The front skin is heavy, but everything else is pretty light to begin with. I've been working on my track car for some time, and the FG I have seen for our cars is marginal. virtually every piece I purchased had o me modified, and reinforced for fitment, and durability. These mods negated any weight advantage I had previously gained. Anyway, interesting project, PM me as details develop. Carl Byck

Carl, the thing I was thinking was, I already have an aluminum TII hood. It's pretty light but I'm sure I could make it a small bit lighter. The fenders, as you've said, are already pretty light. Maybe I could just cut some weight off the front skin? I would think that the size of the whole piece in fiberflass might mean that it would weigh nearly the same as the stock pieces together.
