My personal feeling is it is just another form of bling. I have no doubt that a car with multiple panels will be faster, but not sure the difference will justify the cost for a mixed use vehicle, (street and track days).

So, is anyone aware of a comparison between the two?
A little lighter??? its 45lbs lighter at the most criticial point of the car its center of gravity.. What comparision are you exactly looking for?

The argument can be made that most mods on this car are bling..this is not one of them..its functional, its factory and its free..what else need I say
