Hi Mark,
That is very impressive, i've been thinking about racing my 928 myself, but i can see that i'm not going to go "all out" with my 928 like you have, though you have done an exellent job of transforming it, sofar that i can only be envious of you.
My bodymods mainly consist of "weight improvements" = Cf hood, Cf spoiler, RMB, soon to come ClubSport-Style seats etc (and a few engine mods of course).
Personally i would like to keep the sunroof and maybe install a cf sunroof like "DrNick" (anyone know where he got his cf sunroof ?)
I would be nice if there was a CF or plastic/composite roof awailible for the 928 dont you think (Where can i get one )
Again, you are to be praised for the superior work done to your car.
Bernhard

that looks great! well done! I actually like the look of the black turbo twists on your car! I normally really dont like them, but strangely enough I think they look fantastic on your 928.

Thanks so much, everyone. Like I said in the racing forum, it really means a lot after all of the work I have done. I know I built it for myself, but at least other people like it!
Constantine,
I didn't gut the inner doors, as I couldn't think of a clean way to do it, and I had already built my cage before I decided to trash the windows. That would probably have saved me only like what...5 pounds? Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. The rear hatch glass will be lexan, but the windshield and quarter windows are just stock glass. I didn't want to bother with lexan on the quarter windows to save a few pounds.
The headlights have formed plastic covers that I got from Ken. I'll be putting those on later.
