Seriously though I haven't seen any, and if there are some light weight ones I'd assume they are stupid expensive.

There's little off the shelf for this chassis.

 

There is a company called restored Japan that does carbon and glass panels etc for ke70. Rare and expensive if you can find it at all, has little to no aussie distro. Only other option is custom... Or add a front lip.

 

For the flares, you need a friend who has hammer and dolly skills, or a welder and some talent. Or both. Most people just get a generic flare kit and try to fit that if that's what they want, since they never really had bolt on flares or much kit made specifically for the xe7x chassis.

 

Weight reduction is best achieved by adding a well designed cage and cutting away a hell of a lot of the superfluous body material. Otherwise you might lose rigidity and safety and with a turbo 20v you wont be hurting for hp anyhow, so the weight wont be such a big issue.

I'm with him! Modern cars are in the 1300-1500Kg range and you're already 300kg lighter than that. Panels like the guards and bonnet are already thin and flimsy, as one run into a tree will tell you.
