Looks great, but the wing is too much for my taste, the car looks old-school race and the wing doesn't fit that

I see you have something similar to mine. I have set this car up for Drag Racing and the Rear Wing adds the needed down force for my rear end. I own it, I installed it, I like it.... It makes a big difference, especially after I add my 150 shot of NOS.

I was wondering about the wing, also......but you explained it! The car looks great.
Will you be making any short trips to the burger stand in it?

I love the paint! I see California tags, who did the paint job? Where re you located?

Love the fuel filler and side pipes! Are those hookers?

Who makes the Carbon Fiber trip panels, that looks awesome!

Which bug catcher are you using, and are you happy with it?

Love the hood cut out, it looks great!
