Bought a roll of Lamin-X charcoal smoked. Don't buy the pre-cut as you will pay a premium. No real photo-shoot type pics but here are flash on/flash off. All original lights and bulbs, just the film is all.

I personally don't mind the sticker/logo, so I don't see a need to remove it =P
I feel the same way about the antenna in the rear quarter fender. Kinda like the RC toy car look lolol |

I'm really digging this splitter.
The mod list just keeps growing and it's hard to prioritize especially when I look at the cost in terms of track days/needs now. Mfanatic, what are your impressions of the splitter on the track (sorry if I missed this already)? From what I've read it can add up to 300 lbs. downforce depending on adjustment--does that unbalance the car and end up making the rear end too light? Seems that if this is being done for performance reasons there would be a need for a wing (like Crfine's) to balance out downforce front and rear to maintain the car's balance. |

I have mine mounted parallel to the drive line. It may have a 1-2' down slope and that is more than enough for me. On the track I am seeing 10MPH higher corner entrance speeds but with little or no rear end instability. It made a hell of a difference on the climbing S's at VIR full course in Feb. I would think that if you gave it any more 'bite' you would need a rear wing, but each car's setup is a little different so trial and error is involved. I have another track weekend in May at NCCAR. |

kinda wish I had 9" fronts though, for a more squared-out setup hah

It was meant to be one of those "tuner" mods that's more show than go. That said, I do feel more downward push (downforce) at high speeds. How much? God knows I for one can't comment on how many seconds this APR piece helps me shave off my record lap times lol...I wish I could, but I just don't have any info to back it up. I'd rather not butt-dyno it |

Thinking of installing it myself in that fashion - little more subdued...

I have a sneaking idea of where you're going with this. If it's what I'm thinking it's what I would do it too.
