2007 Lotus Exige S

Yea Pete, the raceview mirrors are carbon fiber, 1lb ligher each lol!

Why have you not purchased them yet!? Haha!

Got a sweet deal on a Shorai Lithium Iron battery, the entire setup weighs 4.5 lbs and has over 400cca. Also came with a cutoff switch/knob so I can leave it for a couple months and not have it die on me.

Nice! Is it just me or does that + cable look to be in questionable condition?

[asshanson]

Yea, I realized it looks bad in the pic, must be the angle plus it's blurry. It's actually on the connector good and not close to the bracket at all.

Edit: I am really thinking about doing side sills/skirts, there have been a lot of people that DIY and provide CAD drawings and such, what do you think of these?

Or there are less aggressive ones:

I kind of dig the look, would be pretty cheap to make too. Especially since I already have the drawing and just need the material.

I dig the first ones! There's nothing sutble about an Exige so why not get it looking aggressive. Only thing you have to worry about is crunching them getting in/out of the car. What would they be made of? Mine are fiberglass so I have to be extra careful - really wish there was a urethane option...

Sweet battery setup! That side skirt is crazy, youd have to jump out of the seat with how wide it would make it haha.

[simulatedwood]

Nice battery setup! The cut off switch is nice addition.

At least throw some shrink wrap over the exposed copper, over time it will fray from vibration.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

We have a mini battery setup like that and the damn thing keeps going dead, but we don't drive the car much. The alarm might be draining it or the battery just needs to be replaced. We don't want to hit the cutoff switch though, since we want the alarm to be on.

Those side skirts look sick.

[asshanson]

Shane, my old Deka never went dead even after sitting for 3 weeks, but I don't have an alarm to drain it so it may not be a good comparison.

I decided to go with the wide side sills, I think I found some used ones for cheap.

I plasti dipped my wheels all black today, I think it looks a lot better. Before/after:
