Stormy Weather Photoshoot
Got a new wing just before the National Championships...

It serves a purpose in racing...So don't hate

Not gonna hate. Looks surprisingly good. Mostly because it serves a purpose.

Looks sharp man, love the wing, because I know you use it.

The overcast in the last pic makes it look like a semi gloss paint, nice...

Very nice sir! Sexy car. BBK only on the fronts right? Was there a purpose behind this as opposed to getting a full set? I know you track the car so wasn't sure if there was a benefit to just having the fronts.

I see why you have the wing. Because of the rear ride height. JK

Car is looking really nice. Now take some pics on the track for us to enjoy.

looking good man, really like how your car sits, i was about to get in on the wing also but had to pull out last minute, maybe later, wing extension is the only way to go IMO

Car looks great Mike!

So how many times have you swapped that c/f hood for your stock one this season?

Rear is as low as I can get it now, Just ordered shorter springs for the rear so I can lower it a bit more, too much rake in the car right now. I have an event every weekend before Nationals, i'm sure somebody will snap some pics.

Shoot, only takes me 5 minutes now, Sometimes i'll leave it on for local events, they don't mind too much But If I had to count...Probably 10

Happened at a car meet 2 years ago, never got around to getting them out.

Honestly without the 2.5" raisers it looks weird. To big of a wing and not high enough...kind of like a choad...

And color matching...I guess its just you because the match is spot on for mine..

^I messed with the contrast a little with that picture, and being overcast that pic was a bit noisy to start with.
