Great thread! Anyone running CF stuff on their cars?

Hmmm, guess I've never really taken one off before! I hear the hatch glass is pretty heavy, maybe do that? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

A piece of lexan and a couple of Dzus fasteners will fix that, too. I'd like a 'glass rear deck, though. Although not too heavy once gutted and pulled off the hatch frame, it does weigh about 10#. Even though it is in the back, where weight is needed, it is kind of high.

Doors and roof would be my choice for first attempts. Doors can be made pretty light, but they are way flimsy then. Ask me how I know. The problem with the roof on those things is it does provide a fair amount of chassis stiffening. If you have tube car, that's one thing, but a tub car, it is part of the tub.

But with lexan windshield and hatch glass, gutted doors and a glass hood, you can get the cars pretty light. Ours is about 2400#, and the car still has the full firewall, floorpan, body and fenders, as well as the regular plastic (heavy) trim pieces that make it look like a Firebird.
