If I had the cash I'd pay that (maybe I'll buy it panel by panel over the next year!). It's actually quite good value compared to other fibreglass body kits and production cars which have full CF bodies.

My thoughts exactly Ortolan. It would take me a few years to finish it, but it is certainly worth it. If only for a pretty big weight savings and to finally have my dented sheetmetal "repaired".

Yes, I will give you some prices for each panel...

This have taken me 4 years to do this... so it takes time...

This kit weighs around 50 pounds... so itīs light

Yeah, very interested to know the weight difference for each panel from stock so I can make a $/kg prioritization if buying panel by panel.
Is it possible to make the rear & roof panels for a coupe or only for a sedan?

I'd assuming our panels could be made just the same. I'd also venture our rear panels will be the greatest savings. They are massive on the coupe.

Unfortunately the rear quarters are welded on from what I understand. Not sure what would be involved in replacing them.
