That's much lighter than mine, what have you done for weight savings ? Do you have the weight distribution F/R.

50% gas.

LF 1000 1042 RF
LR 920 829 RR
Total 3791 lbs
Cross 1962 lbs
51.75%

I could have looked at the F/R but I was just wondering about the total weight. My car has just about everything you could do without cutting it up. Biggest weight savings were going to Kirkey seats instead of the heavy Recaro's. It has a ton of stuff removed. The wheels/tires are much lighter, etc. I could get it race ready and under 3500 if I wanted to. It probably has 40 extra lbs of fuel in it.

It's from a company called Wing-logic, and the upper piece is just a flat piece of aluminum that I mounted. Endplates are custom from 2 flat sheets of carbon fiber. I have an upper wing element on order from 9-lives racing, but from talking to a lot of people, I likely won't see it for 20-30 weeks.

I ran across PCI(pro car innovation). Same extruded wing material but looks like they might have in stock selections you can get any length and just make your own mounting setup. Figured I’d pass info along and hope it helps.
