Once I'm settled in the new house and once I'm done with the MB (3rotor swap) and MS junk on the SSM, I'm going to buy another FD and do something similar to the black FD above.. I have another complete Feed parts as spare so, should be an fairly easy build...

yep, OEM 93 bumper, just cut out between indicators and oil cooler to make larger so i can get a 50row cooler one side and air filters the others

Gordon

Thanks for the compliments Gordon! Yeah to be honest im not really a fan of the park bench out back as well but last year I ran with just a front splitter and the car was really unbalanced in high speed corners and in corner exit. Dont worry, i dont drive on the street with the damn thing on lol. We have an event in 2 wks for further testing. Hopefully everything goes well

It's a little dirty in the pic, quick detailer only goes so far. Also, it's now for sale.
