Default Beginning an all carbon fiber Crossfire

Edit: follow me @supertiracingclub on Instagram. As you read keep in mind that this work is new to me and English is my 3rd language. Thx

Strong start: So far I took the 6.8 lbs (each) headlights down to 3.4lbs. Now I'm doing the windshield surrounding because this 3 pieces are discontinued (see pic). Up next my rear bumper looks bad. But the roof and hood are the easiest to do. Stay tuned on my site Www.PaulsCrossfire.com it would all be done fast but I'm racing 2 cars 24 times a year and the porsche panamera twin turbo is a handful. I never brought it back from the Autocross Championship Series in PBIR Florida without something broken. The 709 hp is killing the suspension. Not gonna mention tires for now.

The slot on the headlight fits the Alpena fog light but if removed it fits the go pro camera. Its surroundings will be cf. If there is a race than the full cf cover can take place of removed headlight.

Windshield surrounding with an inside turn to hide old rubber seals (this is rubber on our cars). The inside frames are flush with the glass to cancel wind noise if yours was also terring off

Old windshield surrounding with those discontinued chrome covers.

Well the car lost 5 lbs. On to clear coat and install

The point here is to dismount the spoiler motor off the car. My panamera tt has an automatic spoiler, needlessly to say I can go without it here:

This is a spoiler cover for the wing itself. Or to cover the hole left by removing the motor and motor mount. These I can make to order to fund some racing events at Miami or Daytona. Look for it at my site starting 14 February 8 p.m. est

Full carbon fiber crossfire spoiker cover or motor mount cover. Works on both


To be sold at www.PaulsCrossfire.com disregard the porsche site for my other car. Pictures of raw carbon fiber spoiler not yet polished or cleared. It means it gets better with more time spent on the cf parts.

You ever really said what you were doing, so what can we say.
Are you going to cut the original roof off and replace it or....?

If you made a lightweight removable hardtop for the roadster, you might have a money maker?

Securing the rear of the top would be the major headache.
Guess you could use the bow latch

It would take some engineering but it could be done, I think?
