I'd have more concerns about the mod if this were the roadie however. The coupe has some inherent structural advantages, so if there is an "issue" it's probably minimal.

Like I said before, I really like the look and enhancements.

It does sound like, if you wanted to cut weight, this type of mod could help. And if you're uber worried about torsional stiffness, some custom "scaffolding" could probably address that and stiff provide net weight savings.
I agree, definitely wouldn't touch it in a roadster. Thanks for the compliments!

If you really wanted to cut weight, this could easily lead to at least 100 pounds if done properly with a harness and roll bars etc.
