Looks great, probably a little busy for a street car though. I LOVE those Advan TCIIIs though!

Does anyone know if the rear door loses function with the rear fender flares? I want them for my stock S-1... I've always felt that the rear fender left something to be desired.

It looks like it would be. Panspeed Pansport also produces flares for the rear that a more subtle then these.

I do, but I fail to see how the added weight is really going to make the car go faster. I doubt they did wind tunnel tests to see if it was really aerodynamic is the proper way. They just did what looked cool to them.

I do not know if they did any wind testing but professional racing teams will not make modifications knowingly that hurt performance. Checkout this thread that has a video of it racing with other cars. It placed 5th in qualifying against some really good cars.

I Guess these rice burners did well enough to come second in macau GP 2011 and win macau GP in 2009.

Also what is the general reason why GT racing cars all have wider bodies? To look cool? Think Wide Think Wheels



Look @ all those wide bodies, look @ all those big wings, fking whole pack of rice burners.

I searched around and found the Panspeeds... Thanks for the suggestion. I think they will look perfect, and they aren't too expensive. Now I have to find a US supplier. I'll try japanparts, first.

Doh! Typo on my part. I must have been looking or thinking about Pansport wheels when I replied

these foofoo wannabes need to quit trying to reinvent the aero bodywork wheel to the ad nauseum level of cosmetic ridiculousness, Speedsource seems to be the only company that gets it



475+ HP 20B goodness to boot

Might as well show the latest Speedsource car which I agree is the best looking car.

Was the Pettit Racing 20b RX8 a Speedsource body?
