A bit late to the party, but hopefully not too late!!! Between the 71” width and the huge 3D end plates, I can barely get past it in my trailer!

Like your door decal says that's an epic wing. How about a pic of the front tea tray splitter? It looks awesome too from what I can see of it.

Idk what it is about the E9X platform with big front splitters, but they just don't look good on them.

At least you can't see it from the drivers seat and the only thing you notice is the extra grip lol.

haha well I’m just gonna have to disagree with you on that one! I think the car looks outrageous! And the Zebulon in particular looks crazy because it sits so far out there without any support rods.

I think there's a big difference between an aggressive looking car that's optimized for performance compared to a car that simply looks good.

There's no doubt that something like your car with huge aero (for a production car) looks wild, mean and super aggressive. From an aesthetic perspective something like a Schirmer E92 or even a factory GT4 looks way more elegant and clean imo. Obviously there's a huge trade-off in performance as a result.

That being said, the Zebulon aero does look much better on the sedan for some reason. The grocery getter was a good choice after all!

Couldn't disagree more… Redpriest's car looks perfect for an e92.

I still remember the story behind your screen name and chuckle. Glad to see you're still around.

Now that's a splitter that looks both effective and sturdy all at the same time!!... I like the canard end plate type design. Great choice. Thanks for posting.

I need a problem-free track day to assert this lol. I will say with higher than normal track height, and completely corded rear tires, it was quite stable at high speeds. I had no idea my rears were corded except for why the hell I was going sideways in slow speed corners. Sub 1:50 at Sonoma in 100 deg heat with this problem lol.

updated big boi. aeromotions s1 dynamic, 72"x13". i have a carbon trunk that it is going to get mounted to. once its on the final wing, i'll set the angle of attack. as it sits on the car, the e92 trunk angles back slightly and the angle isn't correct.
it is tapped into the canhi, and canlow to monitor speed sensors and brake pressure (with its own accelerometers) to actively adjust angle as well as airbraking.

I'm luvin' that part. It's a sci-fi super car wing solution.
