Definitely. They're expensive, but they're worth every penny.

It all depends on the application. If you're gonna use the car for straight line racing, moving the battery to the trunk is one of the dumbest things you can do.
But if you are, for example, gonna autocross, or road race, wheel spin is nowhere as important as weight balance. Having the wheels glued to the pavement means very little, if you have to slow down on every curve, because your car won't turn.
The weight savings vs performance relation has been well documented, and it's very real. But you have to be smart about
where you save weight. On an mx-3, and being that I am, first and foremost, a road racer, I'd pay much more attention to the front end, and leave the rear end pretty much stock.
The formed lexan weighs 17 pounds by itself and including the CF hatch total weighs 31 pounds (with no spoiler or little rear glass).
Wow, I'm definitely going for the lexan glass sooner rather than later. The savings on that alone are enormous. Thanks Evo!
and it does look amazing with the rest of the CF accents on the car
