there is absolutely no way they add 8lbs to my car. Looks way better than a beat up jack rail.

I just picked a set from Shine Auto Project (thanks, Ken!). At 8 lbs total for both CF sides (4lbs each)...it's hardly accountable for heavy weight...for someone to really care that amount of weight reduction, they would be stripping the car down a lot to bare essentials, no PS seat, panels, etc
Jesus Christ

thank you, this is the best install directions I have seen.

I have the ShineAuto Project FEED sides.

Thank you!
Thank you!

I used 6mm bolt Rivnuts and neoprene washers to seal that inner panel camber so water doesn't get in an rust out the steel.

Mine are FRP and they were 2.3 lbs each. I could stand to lose 25 pounds myself, so I'm not sweating the added weight.

Peace

Sure, when? I need to get more 6mm rivnuts, or if you don't mind 1/4-20 items.
