Looks very cool!! That's the same setup I'm going for. Did you have to use wider rear wings to make it work? If you could, please post some more pics.

Very nice. Love the look, but thought that a tat lower on the rear would be spot on.

I like they way it looks. I have the same style rims on my car in the works. I just love turbo twists. Please report back on the dyno results when you have them...
