Wide body/ APR CF Wing/ Wheels she's almost done

well, here's the APR CF wing, you've seen the W/B, and the wheels, A little more body work, fuel cell, clean up the interior, a custom 33x12x3 FMIC, and she'll be ready for some very yellow paint

Unfortunately, it will be track only, the Goodyear slicks don'y last long on the street. The car is sporting a PT67 .81 q trim, should be good for ~500rwhp.

Something tells me CB isn't going to be cruising to the 7-11 with his Goodyear racing slicks...

Looks good

A better pic of the wing, I may raise it a bit, de[ending on the downforce I get with the low position.

Thanks Dltreezan, BTW, I like your new dual scoop hood, very nice. I should have the long awaited reverse cowl hood this week. Here's some detail on how it mounts.

looks good.....post completed pics please. Where did you buy that kit? I wouldn't go for the wing cuz it would be a street car, but the widebody looks awesome. Is that the GTC front end?

GTC nose from Rotary Extreme, the wing is a bit much for the street, but at least it's functional. Most of the body work should be done next weekend. Motor about a week after that, then paint, and tuning. About 3-4 weeks til completion after two years work.

I though about doing that with mine also as there is barely enough room for those tires and you are very limited with how low you can drop the car. How do you plan on doing it. A flare on the flare or what?

I would just extend the natural lines of the fender. Until I see final ride height, I won't be changing it. Also I need to calculate my new roll center, to see how low the car ought to be. IIRC it is higher than what many people run

OMFG that thing looks bad ***. Great job man. I can't wait to see it with paint on it. I would go with black paint IMHO.
