And Seibon’s Dry Carbon hood to match.

The other Sparco seat also came in today, so we can work on getting the interior together. After installing the seat, Emery dound some extra brackets he didn’t need, so we actually save almost 10 pounds a seat rather than 7. We still have to cut the roof off and get the carbon one installed, then we can start getting the hood and trunk on and see how it all looks together.

You said you are going to paint the roof, right? Are you going to paint the trunk and hood to match the car, or leave them the dry carbon look?

I can’t wait to see this thing on the scales!

NO. Absolutely not. Painted carbon fiber looks like ass.

Lexan windows? That could save a good 50lbs or so.

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… 🙂

so are you going to leave the roof and lip looking like normal CF and then keep the trunk/hood dry?
