Seibon's Carbon Fiber Lotus Elise

At 1995lbs, the Lotus Elise is one of the lightest cars on the road, and you’d figure that with Seibon’s all carbon body, it’d be significantly lighter than stock. But since the Elise’s body is already made out of hyper-light composite, all this expensive work actually made the car heavier, which is kind of lame. Though I do love the way the mirrors are mounted up on the fenders. More pics after the jump.
