J'S RACING new bodykit
It's not a veilside kit, it actually serves a function. Big Ben I'm not flaming you but do your research before making such a strong comment.
It is pretty obvious that J's don't hire engineers to design kits, and anyone who has studied fluid dynamics would agree.
My harsh remarks were only about the front bumper. The rest of the car looks great. The rear bumper is the most functional piece on the kit though. And I love the sides the way they have the vent incorporated in the original lines of the rocker panels behind the front wheels. Now they should stick the exhaust through there to shorten the pipe length to make the tone more high pitched like a Ferrari.
The only reason I was being so harsh on that crappy front bumper is because so many of you were praising it by saying it was all form over function. I'm sorry, but you are dead wrong. There is no reason for extra cooling beyond a larger radiator, and the other common cooling upgrades. Especially in the type of racing they do. Now if it were 24 hour at LeMans, maybe.
No, i think you made a mistake.
-First of all, their radiator is larger than the stock, so maybe more air is needed.
-Second this HUGE opening is not for the radiator! There are some brake ducts next to the radiator! So the "turbulance" effect you mentioned is not correct.
-Third, the super takiuy series is something like Le Mans!! C-WEST also designed the V-type radiator mount!!

As I said once before, if there is already an upgraded radiator size, there is no need for additional cooling beyond that. Just because you have a larger radiator, it doesn't mean you need a cow catcher front bumper that is capable of swallowing small children. You can build a ducting system that will channel plenty of air to the larger radiator.
Why not take a class in fluid dynamics before trying to prove me wrong.
What J's Racing does, is test everything on the track. They participate in LeMans championships, and after quite a lot of kilometers their results have shown that the engine temperature decreased about 10-15 degrees Farehneit.. So this front bumper WORKS.
