I'm seriously thinking about a lightweight battery next to offset all this weight I'm putting on the front end, (S/C, Hood ect)

Got the hood back from Prestige BodyWorks. Paint quality is awesome, very happy with the finished product!

What do you guys think?

[Clipdat]

Quite stunning. Now that's the way you do a CF hood!

Dan, what can I say, the photos speak a thousand words! It looks fan-tas-tic! I used to have Caterham that I threw carbon at: nosecone, cycle wings, dash etc. I kept a band of carbon naked on the nosecone and the cycle wings..


Here's a photo of my car.

That hood looks awesome! Can you post a picture from inside the hood? This might be stupid question but will it let water inside the bay under rain?

Wow that thing is awesome man. I'm a big fan of Caterhams

I agree, adding a few touches of carbon here and there without over-doing it is the way to go.

There are no rain catch under the vents so I'll try to avoid driving in heavy rain, (very rare in SoCal anyways).

I washed it yesterday and I put some plastic bags under the vents, surprisingly it didn't seem to catch much water so I don't think rain would be much of an issue.

Do you have any photos from further away? Interested to see how the painted hood looks with the body of the car.

Thanks man, I appreciate the positive feedback. Yeah I've seen it done before but never on WRB, I really like how the carbon contrasts with the blue.

Here are a couple full body shots for now, next up is the full Rexpeed carbon lip kit sometime this week.

That WRB paint looks incredible. Also, ft86speedfactory makes a lightweight battery kit with a light Braille battery. They also sell just the bracket thing if you want to use a different battery.
