From looking through his flickr photos, this guy was all about weight saving and aerodynamics. He has pics of weighing his turn signals vs. stock ones, weighing his plexiglass heel guards vs. stock, weighing his exhaust vs. stock, etc. And I agree, yeah, his stuff is cheesy, but nothing majorly wrong with it until cutting holes in the frame.
