    Steven, Did you take the picture of the GT with the jet? Do you know if it is available in high density format?

    A Little Praise For Kip

    I have tried to take some pictures. Unfortunately, with a flash, it looks the same as the gloss finish. Without a flash, picture quality is very poor. I'll keep trying in some different lighting conditions.

    A Little Praise For Kip

    I have been trying to figure out how to replace my binnacle with something not so glossy as Kip's CF binnacle. I thought about leather and some other composites. However, the "one-off" nature made them too expensive. Kip was quick to agree to create a CF binnacle with a matte finish. It...

    Need Help With Binnacle Swap

    Kendall shared with me that you just have to slip a small jewelers screwdriver sized object between the female (piece that stays attached to the switches) and the male plug. Once inserted, you just need to create enough flex or warpage to allow the male sided plug's "tooth" to slip past the...

    Alternate Bumper Delete Concept

    I like the idea. I'd like to shoot a lot lower than $1000. I think the original GT40 Mk IIIs had a bumper cap that was a polished metal. They ran more vertical than these.

    Can You OD on Carbon Fiber?

    Rob and Speedtek are who made my CF aero package. Great guy! Tons of talent! He would be a great addition to our community. He was involved with C5-R and C4-R that won LeMans.

    15" rotors & 6 piston calipers

    Best answer I heard was from McGowen. He said that most 6 piston calipers are on cars that are front engine and heavilly load the brakes with hard braking. He said that mid engine cars don't need them and it probably saved weight.
