why dont you guys see if there isnt a CF replacement for the entire roof, aka no sunroof whatsoever. that would definately minimize the center of gravity..
I am pretty sure I have seen an entire roof replacement, this way you can keep your headliner, but wouldn't you have moonroof cover that would open into CF roof?
it's true.... if you want a huge difference, you shud by light wheels..the 14" baby volks.. i believe they weigh less than 10lbs or something? there is a waiting line for these badboys and they look pretty hot too!
other than that, just go CF on every panel you can! not the hood though that shyts dangerous

That person could then order bulk lexan at a cheap price, spend a day cutting 20 or so windows and shipping them. BOOM. Everyone who wants a window has one. Just thinking about it and not really looking at hard numbers, I'm sure we can get a perfectly cut window for under 500$. I would be willing to try and make one, but theres never a day that I don't HAVE to drive my G.
This is something I'm willing to attempt during the summer on a 3 day weekend(if there is one). Or just get a bunch of redbull and work non-stop.
