Mod of the week...

The scene: at home on Friday night with a cold and nothing to do. Time on my hands, a toolbox and some scrap aluminum.



Hmm. That doesn't look right; something's missing. Oh yeah - fences!



Who needs a 60k/year CAD package when you can just eyeball it?

very sweet, now make one that simply bolts down to the factory grill (each side) and the wing would just have to be a few inches wider...that would be sweet!

So I guess you were inspired by all the big wing cars in the secret video?

Yes, let's just say I had a lot of time to study the aerodynamics of the back end of some of those cars, short of getting out a tape and taking measurements. I have no idea what the front splitters look like, though...

I like it better with the fences... Speaking of Mods - I was looking at a picture the other day of the door sills of the lotus Elise.

This will be my inspiration for beefing up the door sills on my next Targa. Check it out.

I like the first one...all it needs is to be a longer then the fence on the ends! Great job! Are you selling copies?
