Discs appear to have life left, did i over react? Pedal was markedly moved up and the engagement was feeling a little lazy? Best I could explain.

The floaters got replaced by new ones. They definitely get hot in street driving with all the shifting. Hopefully the thicker plates will maintain a little better.

Left the stud alone it as only damaged above the nut and functions fine so I'm leaving it alone after tightening it and a little locktite.

From the side; they fit the form quite well, just need to get hardware to attach them.

From the front, you can see both tires completely obstructed.

Car Aerodynamics - A2 Wind Tunnel - Wind Camp Tech Theory
Here, Eaker is examining the stock Z28-type side spats, which did not alter the Cd but added 40 pounds of rear downforce. He thought they may be more helpful in yaw but says testing 0 degrees to the airflow gives you 75 percent of the data you'd need at slight yaw. We also tested the Moon discs, which reduced drag by two to four counts. The farther the wheels are from the outer edge of the fender, the less the discs matter.

Rough idea of how the driver's side was routed. I have a sleeve around where it goes around the charge pipe as well as one around the bumper support rod on both sides. This bit here sucked a lot.

2 days later: Got the hose hooked up, but not before I had to pull the damn thing out to get it attached. The flange is the same diameter as the hoses inside wire support which meant it was not a simple task to attach. My hands were quite sore from just doing this bit :(

Panel installed, not the ideal location but since it's part of the front mouth and I've sealed off all outlets it should still be a high pressure zone. Will test to verify in daylight.

Simple screws to get things attached for the moment and get a feel for things. Plenty of exhaust->undertray room (~2") but I'll be putting some heat shielding where it gets close.

Bolt attaches to NB rack mounts with tabs in symmetrical spots on either side. Standard 10mm bolt 30mm in length with a 1" washer underneath for a nice side contact spot.

Mostly flat, bows up a little bit in back between the rack bolts and the back screws, maybe 3/8" up but nothing too serious.
