spoiler - APR GT250 Universal 67" wing w/ 44" upright spacing for a v1 is $1185
splitter - sheet of dibond is $90 + around $50 in hardware = $140
rear diffuser - $70 on ebay fits pretty well
I'm eyeing the middle vent or all three of these: http://trackspe.nextmp.net/shop-by-p...rs-t1-kit.html

Bolio you need to pedal these parts through Facebook...... Get on CTSv vs the world, or send a PM to 54inches this forum . At least that way we can all talk freely.

Just waiting for the mid to approve the post. Since I just signed up to this forum my post has to be approved by a moderator first. Just waiting for that to happen and I can start taking an official head count.
The reason I didn't chose FB first, is that it's difficult to manage. I may go there as well, but I have to be able to keep track fairly easily. I have other parts that I'm in the middle of making for other cars in addition to this new CTS stuff.

At the front, I bolted into the spare tire well (trying to remember if I did more than that). I also bent the leading two corners upward so they didn't catch wind and pull the diffuser down.
At the rear, I bolted it into the little metal flange that the underside of the rear bumper is plastic-pinned to (same holes, as a matter of fact)
re Naf: tilted up at the rear side - I believe it's pretty well flat right now. If I tried to bring the front side down to de facto raise the rear, I'd be afraid the front would catch air above it and rip it down. I suppose I could try to bring the rear up some more...

interested to see what you do because if the bottom of the spare tire well and the bumper tabs are essentially even, I'm having trouble imagining how a step up could be added. I've seen some people cut into the bottom of their bumper's plastic but I'm not sure I'm ready to do that.

What's good so far is that it seems I am able to once again procure ALL of the molds to make the original carbon parts.
So after getting a donor hood and starting the process, it now seems that I can get hands on the original Sprectre extractor hood tooling. I only found out yesterday so I should know more later in the week. If all goes well I can get those started out fairly quickly in comparison. No need for clay modeling, etc

Honestly, I was at my limit with patience on them. Its a 10+ year old platform that has little if any aftermarket support, let alone adapting it for race duty.
Hopefully this saves me money and time because I can see a lot better uses than building one off custom molds for parts that only a few can really use...
