I believe this is a mod for function, not form. Having said that, I love it. This kind of innovation and engineering are what inspire all of us to think outside of the box. Major props for a great design and execution man.

Excellent work. 
How thick are those aluminum? 14 guage? If so 7 lbs is about right.
I'm interested on the machine you use to cut and bend those aluminum. Care to share?
I'm actually planning on building one myself out of polyvinyl or polyurethane but after seeing yours and a stock Lotus Elise, I think I might have to go aluminum as well.
Just worried about road debris bending the aluminum overtime. But this is good man, this is very good. Why buy it when you can build it.

Car and diffuser look good. Glad to see some custom ones out there.
Just FYI, your GT wing is mounted a little too far back. You may have trouble adding more angle to the wing for additional downforce. ( i made the same mistake first go at it on my old car.)

Looks like good work... let's see it painted.
The verticals should be rounded and your spoiler is installed too far to the rear of the trunk lid. Should have been installed a few inches forward.
