Those look great!

^How much were your real CF wheels?

I say from experience in an off-road context. Unfortunately I haven't been able to weigh any on road ones personally. I will look for some samples next time I'm out looking at molds and prototypes though from some carbon suppliers. :)

The rear tires do look pretty beastly on the car. Hopefully the extra width on the front doesn't make for difficult turning in parking lots. I'm also getting a 300mm wheel (inch smaller than my old one), plus tighter ratio than stock, plus wider tires... hmmm could be interesting.

I was seriously considering doing 10:1 pistons, nice valvetrain, and the BOE Rev400 TVS supercharger with the front HEX, but that's a lot of money. I even had the stock supercharger and intercooler setup for sale as a feeler to see how much I could get. Maybe next winter.

How much were you asking?

[asshanson]

I was asking $3500 for the whole setup: supercharger, intake manifold, RLS intercooler/pipes/heatshield, roof scoop ducting, the side scoop ducting stuff, and injectors. But the BOE kit is 7k, plus the pistons and head work... it just got to be too expensive.

So I was really undecided lately, as I sold my stock style wing and have an APR wing in the garage, but I have been really digging the wingless look. Then I test fit the APR wing and I kind of like it. It's pretty big but doesn't look too gaudy like I thought it would.

Hopefully I'll have it mounted in the next week or two, and painted black.
Also got my new steering wheel, the grip is much thicker than the old one, I really like it:

Thicker FTW!!

Wingless looks tits.

Andrew... I've been scrolling up and down for 5 minutes. I can't decide what I like better - wingless or with a wing. Either way, car looks sexy as hell.

That wingless is Jizz in the pants. I vote for no wing.
