    Thanks guys. Matt, I'm just working for my self and part time at another shop. Making money when I can, where I can.

    I made a mold of my front lip. Charlie, do you think it would help with what you do? It's weigh and down force way out front. My first one out of the mold weighs maybe 5 lbs. I should send you one for test purposes, so we can have proof if any exists.
    It's very possible. Any downforce in the front is good downforce. If you want another project to practice on, a set of wide front fenders with larger arches would help a lot of people I think. Also, I'd like to have a super lightweight rear hatch. Knowing the amount if work that goes into a mold, you probably have more lucrative ways to spend your time, but I would be honored to test your parts.
    Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege. Driving is my passion, as it was for the people who invented the automobile, the people who paved the first roads and the people who continue to improve the automobile. Please respect this passion.

      Would it be practical to pull the hatch glass, replace it with a light plastic, and use a hole saw to lighten the metal parts? Could be useful for you on the track. Pull the hatch wiring so it doesn't run inside the hatch, and you could even swap hatches fairly quickly--have a stock one and a race one.

      Are you even required to have a hatch for racing? It would be nice to ditch that weight altogether.
