Just found a few articles that Seibon's full cf elise actually turned out to be heavier than before all the cf. I would think if the goal was to advertise how much lighter cf is you wouldn't use a car that is engineered to be as light as possible already. It would leave you with a very small margin of error, and this error occurred at Sema, quite embarressing...someone flame the project manager.
