I got my brand spanking new custom seat brackets from @Jordan_R yesterday! Along with a 21 pound Braille Battery....weight reduction kit basically lol! Kirky seat and seat cover shipped. I like the sunroof idea. I'm hoping to be about 4200 with me in it. It'll be probably 4240 in calling it now. I'll weigh it at the track.

Dropped 14lbs off stock with this GT500 V2 hood. You can hear the BOV very clearly now that there is a hole in the hood. 
Looks awesome

Oh bro that sucks, sorry to hear that FB isn't so good, but it still looks super nice!

It looks ok in person and that was after HOURS of sanding then filling then repeat. My paint guy said it was one of the worst fiberglass hoods he had worked with. I'm wrapping it in vinyl because it still looks only OK.

What's the water incursion potential for issues look like? I love getting the heat out. Newer cars are so electronics heavy though. The look from the photo is great.

This is a concern I have. With the stock hood my throttle body got corrosion in the actuator motor. My plan is to apply dielectric grease to all the electronic plugs and any potential opening. My car is a garage queen but I can't account for driving in the rain and such. This is definitely a risk.

Too be honest, a lot of Evo hoods have larger cut outs in the hood even stock that allow for water intrusion right over the turbo so I can't imagine its a huge problem. I think our best bet for these hoods is just to take precausions like mentioned with greasing and or water proofing anyway. However once the car is on and running the water should cook off quickly. But being rained on overnight with heavy rain may cause an issue. I guess it all depends on if the vents are angles enough for the water to hit the front of the motor.

And with the number of necks it has broken as well as random comments and thumbs up at red lights, in the one week I have had it, I'll risk and deal with the water issues.

Es Aich Oh!
That’s kinda funny because...little background, Ive always hated open windows in cars and run my air even in 65°.
My AC went out a couple weeks ago. I’m searching and ordering parts for exhaust and calling around to shops to weld it up, changing oil, loading revisions...Everyone’s like, so you gonna do something about that air? Eh, not a priority at the moment. Hahaha.

well you know about 12 ounces of R134a is a pound and most modern AC systems supposedly use 14-28oz.
