Seats are in and quite comfortable. I love the way they look too. Very classy and clean.

The hood fits pretty well, only a few things to nit-pick about, but most people wont notice or even care for that matter.

We haven't fitted the trunk yet. We sat it on the car and it looks really good, but haven't bolted it on just yet.

I really love it. I think this week we will try and get the roof on...

And possibly Memorial weekend take a trip west with a stock long block... :)

I've never been into carbon trunks, but the roof has got to make it flow.

So how much did the stock roof weigh? I figured you must have weighed it after taking it off.

The evos with sunroof options had non-aluminum roofs due to the extra support it needs, great weight drop there!

We had some sheets of carbon laying around so rather than use the plain black we had last year for the bumper ducts, Emery made these.

I'm a fan. :)

And the Sparco wheel is fitted on.

Post Re: Ricer goes on a diet
Those ducts look cool but they are also grabbing some serious drag over 100mph! Might not make that much difference but having an insert that brings a carbon plug further outward to smooth the front end might help make it more Aerodynamic. Just figured if you are going to have the 5 lb brakes on there every bit counts! I can't wait to see this moving around on it's own power. :mrgreen:
