Sometimes you just gotta roll (not literally, I hope) with the punches.

Body shop is lagging a bit but we've arranged to pick up the car on Thursday AM followed by wing install Thursday afternoon...SOON

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Got her back from body today. She is beautiful again, like it never happened. Looks naked w/o the decals but those are all waiting to go on on Monday. Race shop installing wing tomorrow AM.






Also they re-sprayed my Tiger hood to get rid of all the rock chips, but this time I have a clearbra for it to keep it nice, and shaved all the LS spoiler holes on the trunk.

WILL YOU BE INSTALLING THE REAR TOW HOOK.

WILL YOU BE INSTALLING THE REAR TOW HOOK.

Yes, if you look closely you can see the hole for it in the lower rear valence. The hook itself is waiting in my garage, but the receiver bracket is already in-place on the bumper beam.

Being installed as we type...

One more...

Very nice job!

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

A little something extra now...

Nice BMO stickers I mean nice wing! I'm curious to see if you can feel the improved downforce and if it translates into faster lap times.

I'm curious how it will feel as well--but I'm getting killed by lighter cars on high-speed tracks like Chuckwalla, I'm hoping this helps close the gap. Also will be able to test it out at Miller next week and Laguna in July.
I have the wing angle of attack pretty shallow, it's almost "flat". There are a lot of adjustment holes to play with.

If you think CVR is high speed wait until you drive Thunderhill. ;D

We are due to sign up for the LeMons race there in September pretty soon! It's gonna be the full 5-miles.

Car looks cool Drew!

I need a big wing.

I corrected this for you.
