do NOT run HIDs behind the turn signal lenses like I did unless it is modified to do so. If done, your lightpattern and range will be insufficient and you will not have a place for turnsignals. My car will hardly see night driving time since its my racecar, even if it is registered.

Did you guys want just HID light pics or nighttime pics? I dont have many nighttime pics because as I said before, they suck at night.
It is as important and not only in opinion but tested proof that a decent amount of aero, even a little spoiler, will alter a car. I think its very important. I cant even imagine the amount of grip i'll have once my 15x9 6ULs come in and I decide if I want to go with 245s or 225s. Either way they will be of racing tire compound

. some people actually use carbon fiber splitters too. They're nicer looking but they are also stronger

I want numbers if thats fact. As far as im concerned, Matt Andrews has a carbon fiber one too. Just to let you know I have a thing with being a perfectionist. Its my money and not yours you son of a bitch. **** off and find something better to do

I like those pretty parts too. Don't be so upset that I'm not drooling over your recent purchase. Getting pissed because I make an observation based on experience is kind of a son of a bitch thing to do. Pull your princess panties out of your *** and get over yourself.

How do you figure? The APR splitters are a honeycomb composite and are very strong and thick. As long as some "give" is designed into the splitter, you will likely just scrape up the splitter without ripping it off. That's assuming that you don't plow the car, but you're pretty much screwed, regardless of the material at that point.
That's a random percentage. Have you been to a Redline Time Attack event? Their are APR splitters on a lot of those cars, as well as alumalite and plywood splitters. Matt Andrews miata and Jeff Lee's miata are using APR splitters and I know, from crewing Matt's car all season, that the splitter is pretty resilient.

Honestly, I like the development in this thread, as it is really inspiring. Too bad it is such a sensitive thread.
90% is 9 out of 10 splitters not being CF. Not so random. Redline is not really a typical event.
That being said, I am merely pointing out that a CF splitter, while awesome and having positive attributes, is an expensive risk. I have seen guys switch from alumite even to abs and to plywood after getting it all screwed up even partially off track. CF is not as forgiving upon impact either. And honestly, it does not take much to tear it off.
Banning me for stating what I did originally? Wow. Welcome to the interweb, dude. How insecure you are!

This is determined by how it is mounted not its construction....
Oh sure, because you know me well correct? I just really dont see what your deal is. And what exactly is a sensitive thread. If you feed ****, you're gonna get ****. Whats so hard to understand about that
