the a pillers are carbon fire, but bonded on top of the orginal

the roof has had the sunroof and all associated items removed, then fitted over the top

its more form over fuction on this particular car

ahhhh, ok...

even more confussled about the car now

I'm opting for GRP bonnets, doors etc on the skyline as they are near as damn it to the carbon items for weight, but are a hell of a lot cheaper.

Carbon Whores!

Have you got a link to the build thread?

Its nice to know not everyone details their track cars. I just wanna use mine, not arsed how it looks but with all these spanking track projects online it makes me think maybe im cutting corners. Its pointless though really. I think the internet alters peoples perspectives of what track cars should really look like. I know though! This one isnt a track car but you see my point.
