without a doubt Rod_SS - these Niche's will not be what I race in. I'm getting WELD RT-S 17". I haven't removed the stock hood, so I'm uncertain as to how much it weighs, but good to know it doesn't weigh a lot. I'll have 1/4" tank or less gas. I'm just trying to think of every possible option to rid of weight, but still daily drive it. Since I'm not putting much power down, i don't see myself going all out "drag" in this. but would be nice to put a "W" up for us Gen5'ers (esp - against the 5.0L)
