Spoiler project

Ok I was influenced by a couple of threads requesting small apaerance mods so here's a fast and dirty one.

I located a sign shop and purchased some carbon fiber wrap. Removed the rear wing from my 99 and unbolted the struts.

Also found a small stress crack in the trunk from the wing.

carefully wrapped the wing

bolted everything up

and put it back together

Your car looks really clean. What kind of wheels do you have?

18x9.5 and 18x10.5 Salleen knock offs

Sharp ride. Can I ask what you have in it?

It's a 99 35th anniversary, I autocrossed it for awhile in a NASA class and did well, especially against the S2000s. My parents owned a house in the Appalachian mountains and I fell in love with the switchbacks but the altitude killed the power. Sooo... in went a 6psi Kenne Bell with a mild 93 octane tune (342hp) I forget the torque numbers but the KB puts it out right off idle so it's very flexible. It has Cobra brakes and an 03 Cobra IRS. Eibach lowering springs and a Hotchkiss front bar, along with Steeda subframe connectors, and an aluminum flywheel. The 99 Cobra nose allowed me to run driving lights which I needed in the mountains at night. The car gets decent mileage, is not a PITA to work on (which is rarely) and is just a great all around car.
