Probably in the neighborhood of 125-150 pounds. We tried to fiberglass as much as possible.

Car will be going in for new turbo and fuel system upgrade to get it to about 625-650 at rear wheels. My boost logic tranny won't handle much more than that. That will make up for the added weight. Car makes about 500 right now on 19 pounds.

Some more pics of the grills that will detach to see amps/changer and the other side battery.

Needed a little more support around the port opening for the lexan so my buddy made some supports out of aluminum and covered with white vinyl. They turned out really well. Pics show so detail of the metal port going to the rear deck lid too.

All the strips are back from hydro dipping. They are headed to painter to get cleared. These are the pieces that go where the white pieces are now in the trunk.

Went to Austin Thursday and worked all through the night till Friday afternoon. Moved amps up and redid all wiring to move fuse holder. These are just a few pics. Two switches are for the fan and all the trunk lighting.
