it’s all custom, my air flow ramps up from the splitter. I would like to think I get a little extra down force like a small front wing. No problem with water temps for sure. Just made a carbon fiber surround to give it a finished look, a little bit of Aston Martin inspiration. The air dam part of the front is a aci overlay cut to match.

Not knocking but wheels, but yours look amazing against the blue. Not to mention , Black kinda gets blurry where yours show the detail of the wheel.

The gun metal color on some C6Z06 wheels are the best looking wheel. Almost like a graphite color. Personally, bronze would look good against your cars color.

where did you get your materials from to make the splitter on the bottom? Would you make the same set up if I were to pay you? Or text me the links to the materials. I need that haha

The bottom splitter is just nice plywood this one is 1/2" but I'd probably go with 5/8" on the next one. On the track it's a wear item so cheaper the better, and plywood is very strong for the weight. I've have a. Black Dog Racing carbon bumper cover that I'm going to give the same treatment to. It's very stiff and I want to build it so the whole thing slides off quick.

Once you get that black dog racing one done would you consider selling the one you have currently?

I would don’t know if you would be happy with it for a street car just because it’s been on a race car and the front takes a beating. I do want to make a mold for the surround when I redo it so it would be possible to pull one of those for you. The bottom splitter it self is pretty easy and cheap, 9 lives racing even sells patterns and a nice mounting system. If it wasn’t for the track you could mellow the splitter out a bit and not go full under tray.

I definitely want one of those surrounds if you don’t mind. I also wouldn’t mind doing a little body work to clean up your old set up if you’d be willing to get rid of that too! Let me know your thought and we can work something out privately

I find this one aggressive even though its a stock body. 18x12.5 APEX wheels both front and rear with 315 tires square. Just barely clears the fenders with -3.5° camber in the front, but looks mean when flexing in a corner!
