Yeah that downforce under braking is just so hood :ugh2:

critical 05-02-2014 02:41 AM

it'd be a great tailgater. that hood looks like a perfect place to grill some burgers.

It is. Unfortunately it keeps my oil to cold.

That turned out great! I love it! I have a feeling my next DIY is going to involve some info from this thread :tup:

Excellent workmanship and you did a great job on the shape. Very professional looking. :tiphat:

The exposed pop-rivet heads detract from the professional look/fit of the canards themselves. I can't think of a good way to fix that ... and even if I could, you might not be interested ;)

Very nice. I like it.....

Wear a whole damn paper suit!! Jeans, a hoodie pulled up, gloves and full face respirator, and I still have carbon fiber all over my neck and hands and forearms. It's like fiberglass insulation and it hurts.

That sh!ts rice as phuck......






J/K. Looks good dude. When are you heading to the track? What thickness did you end up getting for the CF?

To the ricer comments, while this may be a bit extreme for a street car, this is for functional reasons while tracking. It doesn't have to be pretty it just has to work! I guess all the guys running huge APR wings on their track cars are ricers..

Nice job :) likely refer here in the future when my 370 is no longer my daily and needs more aero.

they came out pretty nice!

That's because there are people on here that don't know the difference between functional and just for looks. That's why I loose a brain cell every time I see a car with stretched tires and hella flush setups on a 30k sports car. I respect everyone's style but to make ghetto or rice comments a on a functional mod, keep that crap to yourself.

3.5mm

Soon I hope. The goal was to just get the basics done before I head there. Unfortunently the more I've read or done the more I end up needing.

Like right now my suspension is messed up. I couldn't get toe right so I bought spl mid links. Now at 26.2" ride height on 285/35/18's my rear spring lifts out of the mid link if I get airborne or three wheels. So i need a coilovers rear shock in true type or OEM type so I can shorten the wheels travel when the suspension is unloaded (in true type I'll sell the mid link and springs for spl toe links). I could raise it up in the rear but I'll look severely racked since the front is lowered too.

Then there's brake pads. I can't go with these OEM ones. Then there's fuel starve issues. Need $1000 for punks pump.

I also still need a tune because of a slight knock I want to take care of and so many people want to see my car tuned with ported tb's, upper and lower manifolds so that's the next several hundred being spent :(. But I enjoy doing it for everyone and my motors safety is number one in my book.
