Default Stupid plastic idea!!

This post originally got me excited that I was on to something, well upon much deliberation I have decided its stupif for several reason:

Covering a glass transmission tunnel with CF would be great if it can be connected to relavent suspension input areas YES it can BUT it really needs a distance or appropriate material between the layers, or distance apart much like current trends in exotic car building, instead of laying directly on top of!!!

Secondly its not that easy to fix bottom of tunnel to the ladder frame chassis!

Lastly I am going to build a tube backbone much like the CSX 7000 series, and Cobra coupes, this should do something to rigidity, or at least keep me amused and hopefully make me happy for five minutes.
