Aero Project...
Well I am diving into the aero world! This stuff really is interesting, I have been trying to take pictures as much as I can during the process.
First of all I would like to thank some of the forum members that I have messaged for questions here and there, this forum is a great place
I decided to go wth the Kognition Wing, again based on a lot of research here on the forum. The folks at Kognition were very good to deal with and got the wing to me as fast as they could due to the dead line I am working on.
As far as the front end, hood, and splitter- again after research here I felt like it had to be ACP. Kerry Hitt also was very helpful and is extremely knowledgeable on our cars and has tested with GM in the tunnel. He actually got the parts to me 3 days ahead of what I requested- outstanding! He has also been available to me for any questions I have had. Kerry You I am adding some pictures now to get caught up with where I am right now, I hope to finish this project in another week or two. I will add more pictures as i go.
The mounting brackets were fabricated out of 5x3 angle lightened down to about 5 lbs each. (There are two more bolts that go in the lower mount just not in at the time of the photo)
I am going without fans first time out- If I do have to go back to a fan it want be with the factory boat anchor set-up
To be continued

Here is a picture of the splitter before I attached it to the fascia, it weighs practically nothing. The undertray is carbon so it is very light, the splitter and fascia are fiberglass..
Can't make Rd Atl. this year

Thanks, that is what I have been told. I remember reading that Raftracer said he could jump up and down on his. I have adjustable rods ordered for the splitter and I am also adding some bracing from the front frame to the splitter/fascia I will see how strong it is then...

Color me jealous
EDIT - Just noticed you still have the factory antenna installed. FYI the OEM rubber hood bumpers make a perfect plug for the antenna grommet
