I have the CF roof and Cossie rear window surrounds, they just aren't in the picture.
I am not sure about what I am going to do for the rear wing. I have a RS500 rear wing but it's just fiberglass. My friend Paul and I built a mold for a real carbon wing, it has a 15" chord and is 65" wide. It's similar to what our friend Ernesto runs on his AIX car.

I may run the real carbon wing at the track, and put the RS500 wing on for show.


Also here is the build thread about Paul's car.

curious to know if those carbon doors are still the same size as the stock doors be damn sweet to get a set of fibreglass doors. I gotta say all this work is damn impressive. Your friggin kicking ass.

Yes they would be sweet but that's a race only part right there. Without a cage they would cause your death on the street in an accident

I got all of the CF panels trimmed up, so I thought I would see what they would look like on the car.
