Fiberglass Parts

This guy makes a bunch of fiberglass replacement parts, outlined below (emailed)...

Front Bumper/Fenders

How much does the stock stuff weigh?

  • Fiberglass/Kevlar: $1250, 20 pounds -- Has integrated fender flares, so don't need to deal with those breaking off all the time...

Hood

  • Stock: 18.5 pounds? He claims 14# improvement with the CF hood, implying 18.5 stock.
  • CF/Glass: 750$, 11 pounds
  • Full CF Honeycomb: 1950$, 4.5 pounds

Rear Bumper

  • Fiberglass/Kevlar: 600$

Aerodynamics

Front Splitter

Not sure what to do with this yet. APR sells pretty generic flat splitter pieces here. Still need to come up with a way to mount it to the car, and to make an airdam for it.

Canards

APR sells generic canards here.

Rear Wing

Don Nimi has a guy that is working on a new twin element wing to the limit of the SSM rules. It'll be about 2k$ and hopefully ready by early spring.

Ciro Designs makes a bunch of wing designs here, but the SSM wing is only 5.7 sq ft. They're also working on a new longer CF twin element design that will be to the limit of the rules. It'll be about 1k$. They're not sure when it will be available -- hopefully a couple months. Been emailing with Rick Jung (owner) about it.

Wheels/Tires

Drys

I have a set of 15x10 custom Spinwerks wheels, with brand new 275/35/15 Hoosier A6s on them. The wheels are 13.2-13.4 lbs each. The tires have a 23.0" diameter.

Wets

What should we do for wets? The W710 comes in sizes that pretty much screw us. The old Hoosier Wet comes in probably 225 at widest for us (unless we can fit the 245/45/16). The new Hoosier Wet H20 comes in pretty identical sizes to the old one. 245/40/17 probably won't fit under the fenders, but we can investigate.
