I've got a little circular saw that I use for these things - you just need that, a drill and a file. That said, I gotta admit, FibreLyte made this particular one. They got Prices on their website for sheet, or you can send them plans and they'll give you a quote. not always cheap, but that's the nature of what they do...but theyre very helpful indeed.

Go for it mate! Time will tell how it lives up to the week-in week-out abuse that a saloon stock gets, but it handled absoutely amazing. I weighed this and the other car; this one came in at something like 200 grammes lighter, on my dodgy old kitchen scales. Stiffer too, and that definitely helps with the handling. Well chuffed with it
