Might as well tub-out the wheelhouses while you're under there...  |
Please....... no more ideas!!!! LOL. actually, while i was in there, I can't say i wasn't looking at how hard it would be to tub it. from what i saw, it does seem like it would be a pretty long project.

Some minor grinding, a few small holes, and a little bit of cutting and you too could have a trunk like that. Probably just a saturday afternoons worth of work. ;-)

UPDATE
I took a trip to the Industrial Metal Supply today -- COOL store!
The sheets will be used to create the new trunk floor. Also where we will bead roll the
G5.R logo. I got 2 just in case we mess up on the first.
We are going to be recreating the front and rear bumper for weight savings. the rear bumper is 26 lbs. If my calculations are correct, the new rear bumper will be around 7 lbs. the front bumper is 14 lbs, and the new one should be around 6 lbs. 27 lbs of weight savings
and....
The Optic Armor glass came in today

My scale isn't the most precise (it is a normal home scale) but when i compared the OE glass with the optic armor, the optic armor was a little more than 50% lighter. the front OE is 27 lbs, the optic armor is 13 lbs. i used that to calculate what the OE back glass would weigh and according to my math, the back OE glass is 19 lbs, and the optic armor at the same thickness is 9 lbs.
so if you stay with 3/16" glass, you will lose about 24 lbs with front and rear glass.
