Actually..i am very interested to see if it does in fact change the speed...being that you are in a unique situation in germany with the autobahn... keep us posted about the top speed.. i'm almost sure it will go down... maybe a little..maybe alot. one thing i know..it can't go up..lol just curious.. would be a fun experiment since we don't have access to wind-tunnel testing..

..just don't add any horsepower items til then!

Not bad, not bad at all. Wonder what the parts are made out of?

WOW thanks Omi!! all parts are polyurethane except the rear surrounds use some kind of "High Temp" Plastic... The melting thing was one of my questions and I have been given a written guaranty that they won’t melt or deform..... but if they do they will replace it

A lazar radar detector/jammer?
The hole in the front grill is for the front tow hook..... lets face it.. living and driving in the wintertime sucks and if I ever get stuck... Im gonna need that hook. A compromise but one that makes sense IMO....... but damn good idea about the lazar!!

I think the problem with the yellow car is that the mesh is silver......it should be black........the mesh on the black car is cool with it being silver or even black would be cool for the stealth look.

maybe changing out the mesh for the common criss-cross mesh is a better move also that mesh looks like it will cause alot of resistance.

Its like the red Seibon aftermarket hood with the vents.......it doesnt look right with the silver mesh but paint the mesh black and the hood looks 10 times better

I like the kit but I dont like the mesh.

just my .02

Front kind of reminds me of the Firebird hood decal on the old Trans Ams (wing feathers). Back to my wine enema :p

Looks good from the side and esp. the rear, grill color w/ a change to black would look better on the yellow. Just my opinion.
