I am sure you've heard this before but excellent job they look great. I saw those and said to myself if I could get my hands on a set of those with how I am doing my car would look awesome, oh well lol

Do you still have the stock subframe in it, or did you go with a FC subframe and suspension for the front?

i have been trying to think of ways to shave weight. I want to redo my door bars in the cage then remove the crash bar from inside the door. Probably about 50lbs between the two.

Lexan wise, I was considering forming my own doort and 1/4 glass windows. Not sure if there is a cheap way to the rear. The glass must be the same thickness or greater than the original glass for rallying.

I plan on trying my hand at fiberglass here soon too.

Luckily for drag, your allowed to have 1/8" lexan all the way around. That's a huge savings for 1st gens...
