While we're pre-vulturizing parts, I call the steering wheel! You DEFINITELY need a cool, detachable hub racing wheel :lol:
FWIW, I'm pretty sure seam welding is illegal. Personally I wouldn't go too crazy, but that's your call. Much of the interior and random plastics in the engine bay have to stay, so read the rules carefully before tossing stuff. I would do maintenance, brakes, suspension, put a bolt-in cage, seats and harnesses in it and go have some fun. If you did race (and you have a long way to go without any track experience), Cobetto is going to kill you anyway, so IMHO the car doesn't need to be max prepped. Many of the mid-pack SpecE30 cars are similarly half-assed prepped. Going for the strip, full custom cage and paint seems like a bit much unless you already have a ton of experience.
BTW, metal bumpers kick ass. 8) (and they're actually a touch lighter from what I understand)
