White carbon fiber weave came to mind for some reason.

Car looks awesome!

I agree though, you should get a CF diffuser for sure

You know what would really bad ass? That CF TRD kit and then paint the parts that would normally be painted to match the body leaving the black pieces in exposed CF. Would look pretty sick IMO.

Yeah, it is not a full replacement; so no cutting or welding, just 3M tape. Haven't had any issues with it yet, and I feel the couple extra pounds is worth tying the look together.

I really want the Ohlins setup, but just don't know if it is worth it. A coilover kit is definitely on the list, I just don't want to make it handle worse than the stock kit.

I want the Rocket Bunny v1 aero in just matte black, but don't know if the kit is worth it without doing the widebody.

Has anyone done that full replacement roof yet? I'm sure there are probably some serious race cars with it, but I'm wondering if an individual has done it yet.

Yeah, I want to do more aggressive aero, but I am thinking about holding off on that until I boost.

Not that I have seen, even the Fensport GT86 build didn't do a full replacement, just hood and trunk.

Yes! Thank you for using actual Carbon Fiber and not just the wrap.

I've been wondering about that for a while now. What would you say the likelihood of it just being a placebo effect is?

Here's an interesting thread on the subject of hood aerodynamics: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39897

Hmm, that was an interesting read, thank you.

I notice that around 110 my hood definitely begins to lift up again, similar distance to the stock hood when around 80-90. So maybe it gave me 10 - 20 mph of room, but I would still say if you go above 130-140 you will need hood pins.
