This is pretty inspiring. Since my car requires a paint job - this got me wondering.... RennSpeed sells CF and FG replacements for nearly all the 914 panels:
Hood, front fenders (w/flares), bumpers, rear decklid (w/ ducktail), door skins, rear quarters. That doesn't leave a lot left. Since I was planning on replacing the decklids anyway - would this be cheaper than actually having the car painted. I could rattle-can black any remaining exposed steel pieces. Also - what additional framing would have to be added for a car with such an absence of steel? And how much weight loss do you think this would yield.
