IMO a lot of work for very little actuall weight loss,

[George g]

Just a word of warning though, for the minimal weight you loose, you will also loose structural ridgidity of the shell, and unless you have a space frame, it will be more of a problem than good and you will see times drop round the track as your shell will be twisting more.

if you go flat floor, then you need to either cut the lower part of the bumper out, or double skin it with something, as the bumper could act like an air dam...
