But now that I race and the likely hood of car-to-car contact has gone up so much more I run them again.
They're ~8-10lbs each.

even then you're best to get the car as light as possible and ballast back up to min weight, that way you can truely cornerweight the car.
But if I wasn't racing I'd have no hesitation running w/o them.
BTW are you running with out them? heheh cheating bastard! LOL

You can find the writeup on how to remove the dash, AC and heater components and carpet in the Service Manual. www.helm.com
I hope you like primer grey, the interior below the carpet and plastic isn't painted.

Here we go again with Ray's cheating bastard mods 

As you may know, my car has been kosherized by Drew
and is perfectly within the rule. The only part in question is the modification on the stock intake which I was told to return back to normal. It has now been fixed. I'm not running a rear bumper bar due to the wing arrangement and as Richard pointed out weights much more and located at a higher center of gravity.btw, I was rear ended at 30mph while at a dead stop w/o the bumper bar. I'll look for the pics later..
