Get rid of the following...
back seats 30lbs
the spare tire 10-15lbs
buy a custom manufactured hood - 33lbs
+ trunk 10lbs
air conditioning unit 10lbs
steel wheels (upgrade to aluminum) 10-20lbs?
unnecessary materials and sterio equip 5-20lbs
unnecessary driver weight 10-100lbs~?

That is about 100 pounds just from that

 

carbon-fiber fenders/trunk/hood/bumpers which are in the processing of being made.

 

how much and where can you source it?

 

my buddy albert's making them: http://www.socalcarbon.com/

 

Is he able to make them for the w201?

 

he's up to his neck in preorders, so i'm not sure he'll have time to do them. He can make them, just mold a copy out of the original one...

 

How did he get into the carbon fiber business? Is there a machine that you just go out and buy? Curious..

 

The Wildfire Cigar Co. brand history thread on BOTL dives into how this relatively new boutique cigar company came about and what smokers can expect from its lineup. Founded around 2021 by Jeremy McDonald, a veteran of the cigar industry and former Caldwell Cigar Company sales manager, Wildfire sets itself apart with creative blends and an outdoors-inspired vibe embodied in its branding and booth designs at events like the PCA. The company’s early releases included The Single and The Revivalist, both crafted at the respected Joya de Nicaragua factory, along with limited editions such as The Intro and Artaois, which blend tobaccos from Nicaragua, Honduras, and beyond. Smokers on the forum share impressions of flavor profiles and construction, reflecting the brand’s growing reputation among aficionados. For those tracking lifestyle goals alongside hobbies, tools like https://wellness-app.com/ or an intermittent fasting app can help keep health routines organized.

 

thanks for the information!
