Wrapped up

[skyshadow07]

Looks great but you just added 50lbs to your under 4000lbs goal! LOL

I am genuinely curious how much weight was added. But to counter, the hood is lighter than stock and I have a new 17lb battery.

I really like it. Looks like a ****** Panda.

That’s crazy. I do think it would be cool if you did the speed holes white on the black side. The hood vent section makes sense all black though.

@skyshadow.....

Educate me my friend. What the **** is the purpose of those three circular holes in the nose of the bumper cover?

I must've missed it if you posted about it previously. I ask only because I know that the actual bumper itself is directly right behind that location, so I am left scratching my head as to WTF you did there......

Appreciate the schooling. Class is in session as I just heard the bell ringing.

Please expound. TIA

Bet there are holes cut in the crash bar....

Thought he had made a custom crash bar for his intercooler that is a lot more open back there.

You are correct. He did. He made a complete tubular crash bar.

The hood looks much much better now that everything is wrapped. CF or fiberglass? Man, when you say it's go time, it's go time......

This looks good. I bet it's incredible in person.

I pulled the stock bumper (crash bar) and built my own crash bar that is also a mount for a front mount intercooler. the intercooler is 24"x12"x4" so the lower opening is only exposing maybe 6-8" to direct air. I cut the 'speed holes' to allow more air to hit the intercooler and increase it's effectiveness.. The speed holes work because i removed all the plastics from the back side of the bumper as well.

Its the fiberglass version. I wish I had bought the CF but at the time of purchase the CF was just the fiberglass one with a cf skin. This meant it was heavier than just the FB. Since then they are apparently making complete CF versions. @GotGrip? has one in route and depending on the quality and smoothness of the surface, I might sell this one and get the CF.

So much more depth in person.

This reminds me of a star trek episode named Let That Be Your Last Battlefield in 1966. With two guys; one was black on his left side and white on the right... And the other guy was black on the right side and white on the left.

I'm sure Commander Data remembers.....er, I mean BPD1151.

I guess there's no rotating tires now. If I remember correctly you have staggered wheels. Also, I think you'll need to update your signature now. I don't think "pretty much stock" applies anymore. LOL!

 

[skyshadow07]

that part of the signature is kinda of my running joke now.
No I don't have the staggered anymore. Although they looked super mean from behind, they were very heavy. If I remember right, each Rotiform wheel was 11lb heavier than my current Enkei TRS-X

Very good sir. We are like 95% there in accuracy

That looks a lot like the same actor that played the Riddler in the Batman TV Show, 1966 ish.
Nice ride.
