Oops, sorry, my bad.
Well, I looked through the 5 videos on the page you linked, didn't see you... didn't see a single female actually.
But it's all good...
Let us all know when you get that SC installed and do a full review! You going to get it installed right before winter? I guess winter isn't as bad for you New Jersey-ites as us Canadians.

^ I've been here in NJ all my life....
zax123, I'm in there, but very briefly. In any case, the focus isn't about me, it's about the cars

That will be a pretty fast car, the turbo IS300 is rated at 350hp but it out runs a 2003 Mustang Cobra on the highway.
The 03-04 Cobra responds very, very well to basic bolt-ons and pretty much walks all of the modern-day competition in a straight line. Example: My 03' Snake put down 450 RWHP and 480 RWTQ with just a chip, 6# pulley, cold air and exhaust.

Don't have a pic of the endurance car, but i'm sure a search will bring it up....

If I were to CF anything, I would paint it body color and use it only for weight reduction (I would not do it for aesthetics alone w/o a reasonable amount of weight reduction). I'm personally not a big fan of the CF look on large exterior body panels (when unpainted).
Inside the engine bay?? well, that's a different story! CF engine shroud and all the other plastic panels would look sweet.

Relocating the battery (~35 LBS) or using a dry-cell one (~20 LBS) has the same effect.
Now, replacing the hood AND relocating a dry-cell battery in the trunk ...

I had 400whp on my fwd RSX and that thing could spin through 3 gear with out trying. I could some what control that with good rubber and slipping the clutch
