No problem. Depending on how extreme youre trying to go. I will be cutting out the t top panels in the trunk that hold the plastic t top holders in place thats good for another like 40-50 pounds i think

I will look into that as well, are you using sheet metal to cover it up? I've seen a few threads on it and it turns out ok.

If you have the tools to make your own by all means. Just make sure it is the proper thickness to meet SFI standards.

I've looked into this and it sounds like it is a huge job when the motors still in the car. Care to shed any light on installation?
