I doubt that that fiberglass and empty air space would raise the center of gravity much. All the heavy stuff is still down low. I'd guess a raise in the center of gravity of maybe 1/4" so cornering wouldn't change much. The center of pressure is another mater. The center of pressure would be raised about 9" and could be a problem in significant winds. Regards, Jim Davis 87 GL Syncro 88 GL Wolfsburg
