after many hours I've finished the rear crash bar mods.
Quite pleased with it, saves 16lbs. Includes a nice strong M14 weldnut for tow hook, and retains the all-important bottom edge which is what the rear diffuser lip clips on to.
Another area I found some weight was the battery bracket (battery itself I will address in the future).
Before:
After:
Aluminium channel, new plastic cap, downsized plastic cap screw from M8 to M6 stainless. Another 1.4lbs saved.
All looks entirely factory still:
That large black wheel well cover weighs a hefty 4.4lbs though, I'll probably replace with some 1-2mm carbon sheet soon..
Last job for today was making a template for headlight film. My car already has clear xpel protection film all over the front end, but I want to protect the headlights on track too.
Hopefully get the rear crash bar and headlight film installed this weekend. Stay tuned for more pics
