Leave it on. Both @captdistraction and I have tried painting aluminum wheel spats and such that are on the front of the car, exposed to lots of rocks etc. The paint gets destroyed fast. Cheap wrap is the best protection that won't make you rework them 100x

What @ArizonaBOSS said. Wrap for whatever reason holds up 100x better vs painting for that sort of stuff.

Does that apply to wrapping the car as well?

In a way, yes. I have a clearbra on the front end of the car and it has been invaluable.
 
The hood on the #17 SEMA display car is not CF. The vents are SLA prototype on a stock hood. It will be hung on a wall.

I received more photos from KhoR last night. Cage is moving along.
 
I haven’t missed shifts with the stock one. My 2011 GT shifter was crappy and needed the MGW. The GT350 stock one is much better. I’m curious about how much improvement is in the MGW

Kevin, I'm doing the mods that people with lots of experience with the GT350 advice me to do. Black Boss and Dean at KhoR both suggested the MGW shifter. All the feedback I have read on this site and the install videos are overwhelmingly positive.

I cut off the top half of the rear bumper support. Total weight reduction is just over 7 lbs. Tig welded the top of the bar after cutting it.48555e5b88a099fb6037da799ff75e7c.jpg20e53bd828894e601b2cbb2bf34f91ab.jpg
