Have a look at www.TheRoadster.Net and find the carbon fibre boot(trunk) and bonnet(hood) and the engine lid.

Link didn't take me to the carbon fiber panels.

Hi Ian,
I registered and searched but search wasn't very comprehensive...
try:
Welcome to BIG Performance : Online Shop : Carbon fibre boot
you'll find an engine cover (the black thing under the carpet)
and a Roadster rear deck lid.

I saw the engine cover so I whipped one up to try out.
I put some foam weatherstrip on it and took some drives.
I can not tell a difference in sound (which is pretty amazing by itself).
And the weight difference is stunning.
5# for the original and 366 grams for mine, that's 13 ounces.
You can't see it and other than a little weight, it does nothing.
But I can make more...
