Looks great! For the wing I'm not 100% based on looks but because I'm sure it's functional and helpful I am 100%. I think you have literally made the new zr1. ~750hp, more downforce. Please tell me you are going to track it? Would love to see your times both before and after if possible. Over all looks like a great car. That's what I want to do as well.

Congrats, but why not remove the factory spoiler entirely? APR sells a spoiler delete that covers up the holes.

What was the total amount of time required for the Callaway upgrade including any lead time?

I'm a track rat and its track season here in Florida, Ran 2:20's at Sebring in my stock 2015 on Hoosiers, So expect to be faster.

It took about four weeks with shipping

Congrats!

I like the wing on the C7.R but yours looks too high to be effective.

Very nice Frank! I hope you'll make the trek up to VIR with that beast. Who makes the front canards and how difficult were they to install?

Sweet ride!!! I love it. I do think it would look better without the factory rear spoiler. But looks great none-the-less! Good job.

Sweet ride, congrats on the new power! Dont do both spoilers at once though, thats not a good look . That aftermarket wing should net all the downforce one could desire.
