That rear bumper and diffuser are so cool. It really adds to the whole race car image. Yes, I know this is a real race car, but the aero helps it look the part.

That cage seems the most well built cage yet. Must have cost a fortune.

Any reason they left the dash and some of the trim up there? I think they would want to shed all they can.

I think that's for the sake of convenience. Those parts go in pieced together like that at the factory and the weight loss would be minimal

It's been a while since I've seen this thread. Too bad someone doesn't design on for the r53 like that.
