Tom-
It REALLY looks good. +2 for not selling yourself short against the Cup cars, etc. Just remember, you've got more track time than half the knuckleheads in GTC3 and GTC4.... By the way, the wings on the wheels might be a bit too much down force

Looks great!
(But, of course I have one comment from the peanut gallery.... I think your Traqmate box should be mounted as close to the center of gravity as possible... like in front of the shifter.)

Car looks great! Can anyone point me to a source for the shifter cage risers?

HAWT! A huge investment there.
As for NASA, those bends are certainly not up to spec. -
NASA rulebook 2009.7
sec 15.6.5 Bends
None of the tubing may show any signs of crimping or wall failure. All bends must be Mandrel type. The center radius of the bends may not be less than three (3) times the outside diameter of the roll cage tubing.
. But, since you've gone up in tubing size to accommodate, you might be forgiven by the NASA scrutineer (Not exactly helping weight loss though) .. For SCCA on the other hand..... You might run into trouble. I think SCCA might also require leg protector bars (Front of cage to wheel wells) depending on your class. But I didn't see you mention anything about racing in SCCA, so no biggie.
Still.. Awesome equipment as well as car. Fantastic. Good times comin for you!

why not just use the factory windows with temp. secure straps, and just remove them when you are at the track? this seems like such a no brainer vs the hassle of making something custom from lexan, that will be pulled at the track anyway.
Tom, You can make removable plexi inserts for the door frames. My doors weigh 5 lbs now. The EVO models have a frame included and fit pretty well. The plexi-glass can be secured from the inside for a little bit of security. Not sure what would be stolen, but you never know. Also get a fitted car cover and some straps for transport in bad weather or your start looking at a nice enclosed trailer!!!!
