He just wants it for himself.

I really need a functional scoop of some sort, I'll probably go with a headlight scoop. Air is good!

The unibody has vents behind the bumper to give the air pressure build up around the fuel tank somewhere to go. Venting the shaved bumper, or building an under body diffuser might not be a bad idea at all.

When air pressure builds up in the rear end, down force is lost, making the back as unstable the front at speed. The wing may add a little downforce, but I wouldn't count on much. If anything, it will stabalize the air flow coming off of the back of the body.

I've seen a couple of pics of shaved bumpers, almost did it to the widebody, didn't care for the look. This one, however, I do like.

thanks for the input guys its much appriciated i will look at adding something under the back to reflect the air, im not sure if id like a vented look or not but hard to tell ive never seen one on a 7 before. Stock GSL-SE brake rotors but i might be the only GSLSE owner with a 12a. Wrecked my 83 bought this body for 200 looked like **** when i got it though and no motor. wouldnt mind a 13b though.
