Smile CF Lid?

Check out the attached Fast Facts sheet just released in connection with the Detroit Auto Show, including in particular the description of the GT3 RS -- seems as if PCNA's marketing materials still seem to indicate a carbon fiber front lid!

I said the rear lid. Someone posted that it would be to expensive to make a cf rear lid and if it is on ROW then they have it. I am with you the rear lid however I will take a front one if they want to and some cf doors and fenders and some seats

Construction of the rear lid is probably exactly the same as that used to make the 996 GT3RS rear wing, SMC or GFP with a single "beauty" ply of carbon fiber for show.
