I dropped about 35ish pounds of unsprung weight with wheels and no runflats. They say you multiply that by 7 and thats like taking that out the back seat. Which would 250ish lbs. But actual weight drop, easy 30lbs off the hood and another 35 with exhaust.

No worries, each to his own. I was actually worried that it may not look good but honestly, I love it. I love the way it looks and it fits great. Maybe if you see in person you might like it better.

Forcefed3 · 05-25-2011, 09:42 PM

Thats a good bit. River Road drive soon?

Bakeme521 · 05-25-2011, 09:42 PM

Got a good picture on the phone today, minus the lip

Of course this was after about 3 hours on a buffer fixing the bumper and the right side skirt. I didn't even realize it messed the side skirt up really bad when the tire came flying off the right front wheel. Thats all fixed but 2 deep scratches, the bumper is as good as I am going to get it. There is one deep gouge that I used touch up paint on, it's not too too noticeable but of course I am drawn to it everytime I look at the car. Got another lip on order.

Forcefed3 · 05-25-2011, 09:43 PM

Looks really aggressive. Nice.

Bakeme521 · 05-25-2011, 09:45 PM

Does anybody notice the little detail I changed that isn't stock?

Is it the mesh? I know some come with that.

Bakeme521 · 05-25-2011, 10:12 PM

Nope, it came like that. I'll tell you. I shaved the reflectors, there isn't little fill in things. They be gone!

cd3 · 05-25-2011, 10:14 PM

When do we get to see it in person?

Me, you, Ian, and the MR2 guy need to meet.

Onurleft · 05-25-2011, 10:50 PM

I'm undecided on the hood in terms of looks. I like it but I don't. I'd want it but I wouldn't want to buy it. However, the fact that it actually functions makes it all worth it to me. 335's suffer from bad heat soak, even with aftermarket intercoolers and oil coolers. The hood should help a lot

Or you could go for the ultimate cooling mod. But I agree, the hood will help.

Kosei K1's on tire rack are $175 a piece. I would like to get some this summer.

Phuoc, what time are you planning to roll out on June 5th and can we swing by Starbucks? Makes sense to cruise up together. Is your brother going?
