Wing looks smokin, and I usually hate the ones that I see! What's your production schedule?

well my production schedule depends at first on quick I can sell my actual wheels, for the wheels colors change, I am planning to get the paint job for the rear fascia whithin 2 weeks, when that's done I'll get to the stripe shop, I still wnat to have the option to back close to stock paint, once the paint is done i will investigate the front splitter and the side rocker, the wing will be a APR gtc 500, and I am waiting for my pfadt coils. I still need to figure out how to make the front splitter removable (for the street).

actually the wing is not the one from the pic, nonetheless it will be part of the removable options, I will use it only for the track, just like the front splitter, and mostly I don't want every clown in town to chase me for a race, on top of that my engine is stock and not that quick on a straight line...

How are you planning on doing your headlights? I haven't seen any after market kits like the one in your concept, are you going to fabricate them yourself?

Good luck with your project and post pics of your progress

my main issue right know is my wheels, selling them would be the solution, powder coating is another one but it is quite expensive on a three piece wheel.
