That version comes with the FT86SF decal but also adds .001 ounces of weight

Removing AC Unit from FR-S

I've had a few people ask me how I got my AC unit out of my car. It is kind of a puzzle, so here's a video of when I did mine. Hopefully this helps.

Great stuff Anthony! Here is one more for you. A japanese company called Espirit makes dry carbon doors that weight 3.5kg per side. Total weight savings is 32.6kg for a set.

Maybe I missed it, but the brakes aren't on your weight list. Was there a weight savings, even though they are bigger because of the materials?

prob due to steering wheel and other components weighting down front left.
