I see.

That's cool. Personally, I don't think the factory mounting scheme is strong enough to trust to a harness for any real tracking, but having more options is always better.

Too bad it's got a steel core, full titanium would be awesome, albeit prohibitively expensive.

im pretty sure it woulda been ridiculously expensive.... i got a qoute for their hood which is made of autoclave cf no frp at all and it cost like 6k.... im pretty sure a full titanium woulda cost around 3k or something around that ball park....

Sh0velMan 03-26-2013 02:42 PM

Oh, it could be done cheaper than that I would think, depending on how they went about purchasing the materials. It'd be close to a grand in raw materials though.

Just wouldn't be worth it at all, since that weight is behind the driver and the difference would be a relatively few pounds.

iceman21_23 03-28-2013 03:46 PM

no blindspot infront of the mirror just takes some getting used too. properly adjusted they work very well.
