The package includes a new carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber louvers at the top of the front fenders, a carbon fiber air brake and a carbon fiber snorkel on the roof that sends cool air to the mid-mounted engine. The wheel bolts, oil cap and water cap are all replaced with titanium pieces. The interior gets a new carbon fiber instrument cluster with shift lights.
