My thought is the white headliners are the lightest...they are white, so what is lighter?
Especially since there is no tint to burden the fabric...
Too bad my 68 has a black liner, it is the heaviest with that theory...

Since Tilton did not specify it had to be 911 details I have taken the liberty of posing some other "details":
It's been my observation that a lot of 356 boys have an exquisite sense of develish detail, and on some cars the combination of their efforts and imagination is really stunning. Examples:
Mirror and master cut-off switch on a 356 track car at Sears Point
Nicely done Emory style 356 at GAF '06.
Note the beauty of the factory removable hardtop on a Speedster. (Parade
'06)
A comfortable and well thought out interior full of neat details. (European Collectibles party '08)
In some cases there are so many perfect details on one machine the car just works as a total masterpiece, as in the case of the green car in the rain (LA Lit Show swap meet, '08)

Back to the proper spirit of the thing before I test Tilton's patience.
Saw the following Scotch-Brite pad treatment on the underside of a real factory alum. engine lid on Mike Raischl's R recreation at Sears Point in early
'08. Well done!

Sometimes the tricks and details don't have to be so slick and snazzy...
Most all racing groups require you to take your floor mats out of your street cars for the track...
So....
Under my factory floor mat I've stuck a piece of 4" skatebord tape for some 'heel grip' when I have to take the mats out...... it really works......
Hmmm..... that piece of tape is about 16 years old.... maybe it's time to change it ......

Welcome guys.
Nice idea Bob, I noticed a few of my photos already included in this thread, here's some more.
These 'through the bonnet' fillers were on Porsche's at the Classic Le Mans this year.
Chuck I'll try that, I use non skid on the clutch, brake and dead pedals too.
Raised spring plate pick-ups.
Adjustable rear bump steer points.
Gusseted bump steer spacer on raised strut.
Front fender well tub, keeps debris off back of head lights and coolers.
Straight pipe exits through holes in the lic plate, the white Ca plate background allows you to read the carbon residue like it was an A/F meter.
You guys rock!
