Body Material

I'm sure the answer to this is "Yes" but Will we be able to change the material of the body? Carbon Fiber, Steel, Fiberglass, ETC.

Re: Body Material

Good idea. I think that the body panels should be divided up so that there could be different materials for each panel. For example; the rear and middle of the body are steel, but the front panels are aluminium to reduce weight and improve weight distribution.

Re: Body Material

Chassis materials are already there, but not sure how we're going to do it for body materials, we shall see :)
