At the end of the day, that's all that matters - that YOU are happy with it. Congrats! Let us know if you feel the improved downforce on the track.

I don't think it's bad at all. Powerbeast has mentioned to me that he plans to track his car eventually. All of that Aero will come in handy on the big tracks such as Big Willow. I did ride alongs in M3's that have huge aero(wings/front splitters) and you can definitely feel the car being more planted with it at 100mph+. Function > form.

Not unreasonable for a sports car and functional on a track. However, I assume you will need to be a bit indulgent re resale price at the day of trading in.

Love the new side shot! Props for being unique with all of the mods. I was not sure at first about the Slek aero but your 1M made me change my mind.

I knew this look was going to get a lot of mixed feeling,but when you actually see the car and wing in person it actually all flows together and looks bad ass.

Wing looks wicked, bro! Don't mind the haters. I've noticed that BBS wheels are an automatic win on this forum and GT wings are an automatic fail. Looks like you've thrown a monkey wrench into the equation by installing both

Wish I was on the west coast to see your whip in person!

Like!

Have you played around with front/back position of the wing on the trunk? suspect that without the CF spoiler it would look even better.

For me the stance, particularly height and width of the wheels in the well, and the red brakes on a white body are still the most exceptional looking elements on your car.

More pics pls?
