Are you even replacing the windows with plexi or something similar, or leave them open?

You should see if Med still has a stock looking CF hood, it can shave 30+ lbs and looks pretty nice, just be careful with shipping

Not sure if he is still sitting on a few, but they were totally OEM looking except that they did away with the strakes in the hood...

Re: Destruction of a race car...

Looks like the cage was welded in place, so it will likely be painted in place. When you get a break from road racing, take that beast to a 1/4 mile track and run some 11.4's.
