Anybody know about reducing the weight of the BJ or what, this friggin car real heavy, even the bonnet by itself real heavy, i want to preserve the interior, so beside rims and the bonnet, i will eventually have a carbon fibre bonnet made, any suggestions?

you can get a CF hood to buy online
or you can get the CF trunk too check out VIS site
honestly there is not much you can do to reduce the weight on a BJ
they are pretty solidly made unless you start removing carpeting and what not

the hood and trunk looks sick though
people do actual CF moulding in trini?
fiberglass core?
