9 cars showed up . St. John's was packed but we waited out a party so we were able to sit together FTW. A welcoming new face, so new and already went carbon, nice. As usual, the talks inside the restaurant and outside were a blast. Fun times as always. See y'all next time.

Lol I'm only kidding. But nice to see you again bud. You've been busy building and working...hope all goes well with the current build as well as the future one. Southbay is your hood so hit us up more often haha

I ended up taking one of them out entirely because the CF trunk is so much lighter.

Now I may have to make an excuse for a battery relocation. Wonder if there's a kit that will put it under the rear cargo shelf. I'd move it and add the wiring weight, if I didn't lose any cargo space for it... not that I use it very often, but yeah.
Thanks for sharing. Best CF hood fitment I've see yet so you got lucky haha. Similar to the battery, Id like to go lighter too. Just can't decide between price or weight - different kits are lighter but costs more. Let us know what you do
