So Terry, how much do you think it would take to make up some lightweight stock bumper covers? Preferably 99/00 since they look better.

fragile, no, not at all. remember my fabrication method is much much different than what they use in the auto industry. if my boat hulls were fragile, well then, I would probably be dead.

I dont see any reason that they cant be made around the 2# mark. The contouring of the bumper is different than anything I've made before, but I should be able to do it with 2-twill rather than the 4x4 weave.

gimmie a list of parts that can potentially be replaced. I'm looking at getting my own vacuum pump so I can start doing cf fabrication again. remember everything I could make would need to be painted, I am not doing this for astetic reasons [that adds weight]

hehehe, I still have the FI rail area over you
