Well here are a few more updated pictures. I've just been busy and haven't had a chance to post them until now.

Dennis has been working on fitting in the windshield. I opted to not use a glass window for the safety side of things so I went with a Speedglass drop in style. These things are made really nice and fit the car great. One more really nice thing is the fact that the drop in is 23 lbs lighter then a OEM glass window. Here are some pictures.



Dennis will also be putting some screws around the outside of the window to keep in place. This style window doesn't require them but for safety we are going to do it.





Next DMC fitted the VFN rear hatch. I got a hinged style fiberglass hatch for a few reasons. The main thing is now we don't have to fill the back panel where the OE wing mounts and this will help keep down weight. I also wanted to maintain the OE look and didn't want to need 2 people to remove the thing so making sure it bolted on was a major plus. It fit nice but needed a little work around the edges.



Next was getting the Carbon wing all mounted up. This wing was made by Joe Van Overbeek and anyone that knows about his stuff know the quality of it. It is built strong and just fits like it should.



Dennis is going to make up a set of side spill plates that fit the body a little closer and follow the lines so we didn't add them yet.





Hopefully I will have a few more things in the coming days. I got to get Dennis to send the pictures over and I will post them.

Thanks EK

They are the stock doors. They have not been lightened any as of yet but I plan on doing a little.

They didn't bend or move anything when cutting into stuff however I would plate the inside area anyway by the hinge. Depending on where you down bar is off of your halo hoop you may be able to tie a plate right into that for the best results. That also will help tie the bar into the chassis.

I do plan on carbon doors in the future but until I get the car out and see some results they are on hold. I'm going to look into getting a set of inner and outer molds made so the door will have a roll up type of window. I really don't want a fixed in window. I can't stand that look. If I have a set done they will be done the right way.

Thanks and good luck with your stuff.
