Wonder what's the weight reduction?! Bet it's not much!
Less than 1/2 that of the Benetec kit, I believe.

So...unless i get it wrong those apply on the original body parts, case in which they add some weight instead of saving some.
my thoughts too
if you want the look then i guess its cool but come on now. If you are going to do that to a Lotus atleast dont skimp out
