    You know what would be bad-a**? A redesigned rear door minus the spare tire area with a slightly larger rear window. You could even build in a sub box or cargo area. Also it might be nice to have a way to mount my oversized spare on the back of the rear door instead of on the roof (which affects my aerodynamics as well as my ability to park in garages). A CF rear door and hood (with scoop of course) could save us a few hundred pounds, which might have a positive affect on gas mileage over time.

    And hell, if you consider cladding (more weight savings?), you might want to think about opening up the wheel wells a bit for taller/wider tires.

    Just kicking around ideas...

    Thumbs up

    I think a C/F rear spoiler w/ a somewhat modified profile ("whale tail", without being overdone) would be something I would lust after...it would have to incorporate the 3rd brake light though.

    Question re: replacement cladding, in fiberglass or carbon fiber.

    OK,

    So I spoke with the boss, and we have the capacity and ability to do replacement cladding, in either fiberglass or CF. The latter, of course would be more expensive.

    In order to give an accurate quote, I need more specific dimensions (remember- I don't have a VX yet...)

    So there are 9 pieces of cladding, right? (3 on each side, front & back bumpers, back door panel)

    I am looking for the length, height, and width of each cladding part, as well as the diameter of the wheel wells and the diameter of the wheel hump on the back door.

    Thanks for your help-- I appreciate it!
