Jirka

Edit: Typo
Yup, one chassis is about 3/4" longer than the other

It did, yes, and you're right.

I guess we have moved towards the next question already: 'which make?'.
But just for me: why LWB not SWB? Were all optional/standard black FRP chassis LWB?

I can tell you this much, they are uni top carbon, with a layer of fiberglass in the middle. Not like CC though--and for all my carbon experience--I'd swear they were actual graphite laminate

Top one is a SWB Optima MId. The later is a LWB optima mid. I am thinking maybe BRP chassis (can't find pics though). I have a LWB JG and it is defianatley different than that. -Jeff
