Couple of Questions for you guys!!

One of my sponsers "APR" and also a good friend of mine that works for them wants to know...What kind of parts would you guys recommond them to make for the Evo X, we were thinking about doing the CF Vortex generator, CF Heat Shield exhaust holes, CF side vent (fenders)? Which one of these 3 items would you like to see them develop the most? Or if you have any other ideas, please let me know?


Here is there website so you could get a feel for what i'm talking about:

You could do a dry carbon overlay in the satin finish for the blacked out section of the grille, that would look bad azz.....

i'm talking about those 2 little tiny "openings " on the hood.
They almost closed.
so would be nice some replacement with no restriction and the same louvre design

Are you referring to the hood vents and scoop?

I don't think vortex generators will really help with adding rear downforce due to the already gentle slope of the rear windshield. They'd probably just add drag. But if people want them for looks I guess.....
