Default Aero added and APR CF Cooling ducts installed

I just got finished adding my APR CF brake cooling ducts and some more aero to the car. Just installed WASP Splitter, APR Canards, RockStar Garage Carbon side splitter, and APR CF Cooling ducts to go with my APR GT200 CF Spoiler. The car is almost ready to attack the track! RockStar roll bar, Recaro PP, Scroth Belts, and RockStar Garage CF Mugen Hardtop going on in the next few weeks.

I will be testing the brake ducts very soon. The quality of the pieces was top notch and install was somewhat forward. My only complaint was how much cutting into the bumper i had to do to fit the front ducts to make them fit perfect enough for me. And yes I know there are cheaper options out there but I loved the look and the ease of fitment. Other than that i think it came out great and cant wait to use all of it together. I thought I would share some pics and will share testing results soon.

That's a pretty serious aero setup. Bout the same as mine and Dysen's in the front which means it should work damn well.

Thanks man! I need to do something about the hood shortly to get some of the air out to help df and decrease temps. I was looking at either the vents you were running or possible a CF hood with the big reverse vent in the front.

I like the OEM metal hood and OEM hood latch versus spending a bunch of money for a possibly heavier CF hood and needing to run hood latches.

Although keeping OE hood and getting a separate one has advantages. And while venting stock hood helped me boosted I wish I didn't have vents when I started tracking. Especially only being on one side. I think best model of Aero can be taken from top guys and especially Cwest. Cwest even has posted them using a air tunnel. They had hood with big front cent, but also a crazy setup to take advantage of it.

I didn't read your post at first, just looked at the pics.

I was wondering when personal safety was going to be addressed.

Thanks. I have been saving the interior for last but its killing me. I have the top, seat, belts, roll bar, and steering wheel sitting in my office and it stares at me every day begging to go on.

Even simple holes in the hood reduce lift and extract air due to the low pressure over the top of the hood caused by the hood's curvature. It also helps reduce turbulence under the car. Win-win-win.

I'm leaning towards the trackspec vents that KingTut runs
