Dash panel part 1 and an unexpected weight loss

Ok, so first the weight loss. I heard on Rennlist (Porsche forum), that by removing these bumper pads you can eliminate some drag from the rear by letting the trapped air from under the bumper escape. What I did not know however, was how damn heavy these things are. They are like little rubber bricks, at least 4 pounds EACH. Sadly, this wont help my desperate need for traction



Now the dash...
It started with piece of lexan I had lying around after the quarter window project.
Then it was cut so it fit the contours of the dash nicely, kinda
Next was the really fun part of measuring the Sunpro gauge cluster, window switches, and hazard button. In fact, it was so much fun that I forgot my dog was outside and he spent the next few hours sitting on the porch waiting to be let in.
After the measurements were taken I used a dremel to carefully cut out the pieces that were not needed.
When everything was cut out I sprayed the backside with some plastic primer and clear coat.
Once you turn it around it looks shiny and new...ish
Finishing touches will have to happen tomorrow as Ive run out of daylight once again.
