the wiring itself is about 20-25 lbs of weight. There were a lot of modules and other unneeded things in that weight also. Sound deadening and misc metal brackets (for oem seat) etc were also tossed out.

I'll be doing a new corner balance once the car gets completed to really see the weight loss

Flossman Fenders!

Thanks to Chicane Motorsports! The flossman fenders are a carbon OEM replacement with louvers and vents for aerodynamics ( and they look kick ass!). These are not wider fenders than OEM spec.
Construction on them are great. Super light weight. They are not pre-drilled for fitment and they do need some prep for paint. Here are some pics!

roastbeef · 08-28-2017, 01:15 PM

I can't wait to see how those fit!

PsychCA · 08-30-2017, 12:27 PM

Your car is gonna be INSANE with these new mods !!!

Patrón · 08-30-2017, 01:36 PM

that is a serious build. nice job.

cliverman · 08-30-2017, 01:59 PM

Amazing transformation. Not a street car any longer!

sirdaft1 · 08-30-2017, 02:53 PM

Great build brother! How does she feel at the current power level? And any plans to run competitively w/ SCCA, NASA, etc?

theautoculture · 09-06-2017, 06:31 PM

WOWWWWWW, that is SOOOO sick. Question, what wing performed better? GT4 Wing or the APR wing?

xchosun1x · 09-10-2017, 07:30 PM

some updates on the paint color, paint prep and shooting.

going with a grigio medio color inside and out. interior will be a semi gloss (clear coat) to reduce interior glare. all of the body prep and paint was performed by Horn's Collision Center in Long Beach, CA. They do amazing work!

well the APR wing does produce more downforce but was imbalanced imo with the front aero I was using in combination with it. So far I like the GT4 set up...once I can out drive this aero set up...maybe I'll upgrade to bigger from splitter and active rear aero

roastbeef · 09-10-2017, 07:37 PM

i'm going to have to come see this thing in person when it is all done... i have always fantasized about the flossman fenders and m24 hood combo!

HELROTM3 · 09-10-2017, 10:47 PM

More photo!

xchosun1x · 09-16-2017, 03:13 PM

more updates! The car is painted and doing paint correction, polish and touch up!

Big shoutout to Horn's Collision Center. Now off to Trinity Autosport to do some interior dash work, wire harness wrap up and other misc interior work.

Awesome build, thanks for sharing.

Excellent!

BOOF-M3 · 10-06-2017, 12:32 PM

This should be a WTS thread. Wouldn't be any issues there.

Meaning I think it's probably the best looking car I have ever seen on the forums. If it was a for sale thread the interest would be through the roof as I think you and everyone else would agree.

I'm sorry you don't get me, my humor or how I post. This comment was before our disagreement. It is what it is. I'll be happy to delete it and this if you prefer.

ohhhh ok!
