I'll have more pictures up soon of the whole thing with some video's that can do it more justice. I keep having to take a bunch of $hit off to install new $hit... eeehh..
Widebody... Bolt on's and a blue bottle hidden in the trunk. 3300LB (almost down in the 3200's)

New but Old pics showing fenders.

It is part of the carbon fiber widebody. CF fenders(which or not on in this pic), side skirts, and 2 quarter panel pieces. All bolt on.

Heres my thing. I really like Matte black the most. Because with the stance and widebody this thing will look like a tank. Just tough as hell. But I also think that LSB and matte black will be way harder to sell than while. So im in a rock an a hard spot on this one.

Satin Black with a blend into the Carbon Fiber. The LSB and White are nice and all but show off what you have. Black would look the least obnoxious and clean with a CF blend

The paint is getting done professionally. So I want to make sure its the color I want. I think I might matte black it my self first to see if I like it. I know it wont be perfect but, it will give me an idea then I can post on here and see if people like it or the think white. I dont think LSB would look good. I only but it because I like the color in general.

How did you shave 500 lbs off the car other than the CF panels?

Well. Moving and replacing. Replaced a lot of stuff. To be honestly too much to list. But the seats in this car made the biggest difference in weight. Then stuff like hood, trunk, fenders, head lights, suspension, brakes, sterio equip., wheels. I removed tons of useless $hit also. As you can see from the picture. Tons and Tons of plastic stuff. Dumb things like mud flaps, rear wheel liner, all the crap on the trunk. I ditched the cabin hepa filters, cruise control system, spare tire, muffler(new system straight piped), there is soooooooooo much more little things. I mean alot. But it all add's up over time. That was the pile when it was half the size it is now.

Pic of the rear seat delete, and the new 16lb seats, plus some CF interior trim which doesn't make much difference but looks cool.
