	Keith - My next suit, will be built that way. I'm a big fan of the lightness, comfort, flexibility and protection offered by the newer material. Really wished Design 500 had off the shelf suits... Anyway, probably not in the budget before start of the season, but maybe a 2007 X-Mas Present. Gotta pay for that steering wheel, new brake rotors & hats, and a bunch of little things I've not even discovered yet. I'll call you in a few days, do discuss re-skinning the wings... Regards, Ambrose

	Ambrose, Talking about Carbon-X again! Does this mean you are getting close to having me build you a Design 500 suit, with a Carbon-X inner? Keith
