I'd want to check my template against an Elise befor I felt comfortable selling a set to an Elise owner.

Let me check and get back with you.

I have an '05 Elise. I can swing by for a test fit if you like.

It's not so much that you only live once, it's more that you're dead for so very long afterwards.

I'd appreciate that very much! Someone's always here but I should be here most of the week, customers visiting here instead of the opposite.

Thanks for the offer!

Sorry Mike, I lost track of this thread. The guys running at Black Hawk yesterday reminded me of it.

Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll swing by tomorrow if that's ok.

The all the parts looked really high quality yesterday at the trackday. Wing is a love it or hate it design but the owner was very impressed with it's functionality. He said he took the top element off for a few laps and could tell there was a large difference in stability.

Diffuser is awaiting down payment. I'm kinda funny about things like that. If all goes according to plan, the mold will be done by the end of next week. The molds for the additional diffuser elements are already done, so there's not much to delay shipment.

If you can make it work for an Elise, it'd be excellent for you (and for me)!

In the front, there are 2 detents on the interior of the top of the windshield header. A horizontal piece fitted to the bottom of the scoop could have two springloaded pins shaped to fit into those detents. Wadaya think?

Mike,

Did you create such a roof/scoop? I am ready to buy one.

As long as the both the feet and the clam stay clean no problem. But as soon as you get any dirt in there you will get scratches. Easy to solve though - just put some 3M film on the clam!!

Any pics of them installed?
Will they fit on the Elise?
Is it $480 per side or $480 for the pair?

Composites-- Do you have any pictures or additional information on the full length "mohawk" scope for 2007 Exige S hard tops? I asked on the thread that introduced it but got a rather vague and useless answer from the thread's original poster... so I gave up.

Does a commercial website with the available parts, descriptions, and prices exist? It would help convince me of purchasing some things.
