Don't you see the domestics are spending all that money trying to loose weight why we don't need to do that at all and if we wanted to then we can buy all the Carbon Fiber items that they are selling.....( they now make carbon fiber hoods, doors, hatch, mirrors, ect.... for the 240's )......so we always have that advantage.
