Carbon Fiber IX block off plates for front bumper!!!

Just got these today and I figured I would share them with everybody

Sorry for the crappy pics. The sun was going down, and the batterys for my camera where dead. So I took the pics with my phone. I will get better ones up for everyone tomm.

Dont worry about your oil cooler... they are over rated

What sort of difference are you expecting these to make to your times and mph on the strip?

Has your evo said something to you recently that offended you?

i wonder how much time this would be worth on the dragstrip. even in stock car racing, it's common to see front ends taped off for qualifying (they do it for downforce however)... if they can last three laps at 180mph with no fresh air going across anything, i'd be willing to bet we could do the same on the strip.

Stock car racing is dramatically different from drag racing. Aero doesn't play a huge role in drag racing unless you run some serious trap speeds...which I suppose the OP is. I have my doubts about the functionality of those pieces, but I'd be interested to see the results. I couldn't make my car look like that for just a tenth or two
