Damn, are you using an aftermarket bolt in the rear? Looks awesome!

Nah, no bolts. I removed the bolts and put thin rubber pads in their place

@mountainbiker2... Wow! Aerodynamic much???! Lol Looks like a wind breaker. Do you feel any differences compared to stock?

Sorry for the stupid question. Im just curious to know what differences does it make overall.

Faster he goes, I am sure he feels it. I drove a car with a spoiler @ over 100mphs many times,...then I drove the same car without...and speeds of over 100mph...and wow,..it felt like the car was bouncing all over the place. It was a really dramatic difference, but it was a very functional spoiler, something similar to mountainbikers but, that was my experience in that car, and it had no chin spoiler like his.

Not a stupid question at all. The wing in the back works for sure. The front splitter is questionable. Were talking Autocross speeds. 30-75 mph. Without a doubt the front splitter would work at higher speeds, but I'm not sure it does anything at these slow speeds.

I have to take off the splitter to get back and forth to the track. I'm getting real tired of putting it on, so the next Autocross race I'm going to leave it off. See what happens. Unfortunately, I'm going to make other changes to. Sway bars, ride height and shock adjustments. The real problem I have with the splitter besides putting it on, it weighs 20 lbs. with all the hardware. I had to build it real strong to take cone hits. Does it make better performance for the 20 lb. weight penally? The rear wing and all the hardware only weighs 13 lbs. That's worth the trade off.

I like how you can adjust it. Very sick, functional piece. I think the front would help but, enough to warrant the labor for my lazy *** to do it every time, I feel ya man...I feel ya. Race ramps may help but I am sure you have something like that already covered. We don't have race ramps, we have been using wood but, we're about to make some aluminum ramps soon. Cool setup man.
