Anyone out there had experience with lightweight rear deck lids? Who manufactures them? Approximate weights? Lar.
Heh.. I got one on a car, never took it off, was FG, could not have weighed more than 3.5 lbs, painted.
Makers: Getty, American International Racing, and many, many more.

Who makes the carbon fiber hoods? Are they safe for a street car?
I have a couple of customers with the carbon hoods. They fit well and function great.
The ones I have experience with are from Getty Design out of Riverside Ca.

Ooooh...wiiiiide bodyyyyyy...
Even the 'standard body' is nice looking Now if they could make it for street legal cars (working trunks, headlights, etc.)
I wish Roger had left that "theme" on the car. is new 70's 917 theme makes me .

I'm a sucker for 70's look. I can see some aesthetic disputes forming already.
Play nice.
I like the purple/blue (edit) I dislike the 8 bit flame job.

Are there any cars with headlights small enough to go in the turn signal area of a 914? It seems like some of the new cars with projector beam headlights are pretty small. Of course, you would have to find a place for the turn signals, but that shouldn't be too tough.
Or, how about mounting flush lights. It looks like the mid-90's 300ZX ( http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/used/reviews/photos/index.cfm/id/2347/img/92809101990002 ) has lights that are sloped about the right amount.

How about buy a hood, cut the corners out, and fabricate CF doors for the lights?

I believe my car - with a Sheridan normal front and wide body rear - can be made street legal with mirrors and turn signals.
Sorry Brad, I still haven't taken any new pictures.
Lower that butt Man, that looks niiiiice
Let me know when your ready to sell it Solo... LOL
Jridder,
I have thought about doing small projection headlights in the stock location and making the headlight only open enough to allow them to shine "out". Miata's have a kit for this same setup. Instead of having our headlights stick up 3 feet in the air... they would only stick up about 6 inches when open. Let me know if you can help me figure out how to stop the headlights at a 6 inch opening (it has to be a diode stop or something on the stock setup) I have some headlight motors you can use to play with if need be.

I don't think you would have to have an electronic headlight stop, just change the leverage system. When I was aligning my headlight assemblies I saw how the arm simply pushes or pulls on the headlight arm/pivot. What about changing the location of that arm/pivot? Heck, maybe make it adjustable, like a slotted opening for the actuating arm to mount in to so you can more easily adjust it. It may be easier/quicker because you are mechanically engineering the assembly (metal fab) instead of electrically engineering it (triggers, timers, relays, etc.).
Just some thoughts.
Brad: Won't be selling any time soon....still collecting parts and sweating over the choice of engine. If you know of any 3.6's that are reasonably priced I'll sell the MR2 turbo motor.
Nut: Seeing as how you are an ass man I thought I would share these with you....
Once I get a nice engine planted in the car it should look much less like a cat in heat.
