They do make a difference. It makes turns the door into a rigid brace. The extra engine bay space is whats unique and what our intentions were. It's kind of the styling there, minimalist aesthetics. Like modern furniture. Zero clutter.

I am not sure, I should weigh it soon. We took out a ton of weight. We did everything in house to the engine bay so expense was low for us, but hours of labor probably 50+. Most of the work went into reworking the OEM chassis harness. It was a first time thing too, so if we do it again it will probably be less time.

Yes! This won't be a problem to provide. We went to Barber again last weekend so we're putting together a video of us thrashing the car.

Maybe! I dig the new cast aluminum for now. Black would be pretty rad though.
