thats some need for speed shit right there loll...but for some reason...i likeee =\

expensive. carbon creatons kit, hows the fitment?

actualy it all fit really well the only problem i have is the front bumper doesnt line up with the hood at all ima have to shim it so it goes up and meets the hood

so how much weight did you drop with the overhaul (other than that in your wallet)?

who is IMA?

well i didnt really lose to much got the whole kit for under $3000 but i havent got to weight it yet so ima finish up the body and hopefully get it tuned so if anyone knows any good tuners in the Indiana area let me know

lol, u got the turbo before you knew any tuners?

I saw the Pettit 20B Full Carbon Fiber race car the other day. Total shell weighs less than 70lbs they said.

well if you wanna know the kit comes pre tuned but you can have it tuned and get more hp and better gas mileage and i know of 2 rotory tuners in Indiana but there booked up

so you going to get a carbon hood and trunklid too???

yea i have everything you can get carbonfiber heres some pics b4 the start on the paint.

wow, i would love to see how much total weight the car dropped. now make it lose some more wieght and put some bride seats in it and get a set of light weight rims. :rock:

nice. The new Carbon fiber Ho right here

How 'bout some plexi-glass to go along with the weight reduction? Now that...I'd get.

yea that would be a good idea i just might have to check into that when i build my audio

brad, you should look at the dymag carbon fiber/magnesium wheels. way expensive tho.

Do you also have the carbon fiber front and rear passsenger doors?

I'd love to do that. It's even better that you are getting it painted instead of trying to show it off. :)

as far as i know there not out on the market yet, plus its going to b a daily driver so i highly dout i will end up with them even if you can get em

i would like to see close ups of where the fender meets the front bumper because i have never seen it fit right for this kit

Do u think it's wise to loose that much weight?
Also noticed the CF parts are glossy, should've gone with the dry carbon. If u preffer it really light.

there used to be carbon doors for the rx8 on ebay, but i cant find them.

How would it ever be unwise to lose weight on a sports car?!?

does carbon fiber hold up as well as metal in accidents? ie besides being lighter, is it a safety compromise?
