I passed the word on about doing the spoilers in CF, I dont think its going to happen, but you never know....like I said the weight savings wont be that great since it is already made out of smc
also inquired about a flat piece to do a sunroof plug
weight savings on the hood is 26.6 lbs...stock all dressed up 42.5 lbs....just FI hood 16lbs. (no grill & spoiler)

I'd be interested in a CF sunroof plug that isn't a huge hassle to install (tons of drilling, etc.)
I agree with the above statement that I'm more inclined to spend my money on items that drop weight on the front half of the car as opposed to the rear...

Pat I am d for the set up as well lets try and get the spoiler made w/out the hole for the antenna, like we spoke of in the past and as far as the doors I will take them as well but u need to also let me know if you still want the doors from my other car?[/b]

Hey man, that sounds awesome. I've been wondering how much moola it'd take for a cf parts company to manufacture a cf hatch. I'm in for sure. can't wait for the price quote. Are CF body kits out of the question? I'd much rather spend money on lightening my ride (power 2 weight ratio) then pumping up the motor.

LOL. I would love to see the durability of these and also the release/holding mechanism. I know FI says we don't need hood pins, but still I'd hate to be going 80mph (or faster, you never know) and having a really bad day...beej":1wdr9uu8 said:
If it's as good as everyone says, I'll take the plunge and buy one even if it's more $$$.

hood seems to hold fine to me....
I'd be interested depending on price 
. I first need to get the hood.
Don't forget to let people with regular celica's know about this as well so it'll appeal to a larger market. I think we really need to push this with the non turbo people. I mean it's kind of like all the Honda guys who try to make their cars look like Type Rs and SIs and stuff but it helps drive the market and ultimately helps us in making the parts cheaper for us. Especially since non-turbo Celica's can be had for cheap and then dropping in a 3SGTE or a Camry V6 makes their cars cheap and fast.
