    APR Carbon AERO FINISHED

    I had been up and down about the anti-dive plates. Several people commented on needing to balance the car and also be aero-dynamically correct. So here it is. Done! The front bumper is actually pretty damned easy to remove and put back on, just remember where the shims went for proper alignment. Had damned near the whole car apart this weekend between hi flow cats and front aero. Enjoy!

    I actually went with rivets and washer retainers, as well as 3M tape. Those bad boys are going NOWHERE. Didn't like how ugly the APR hardware was. Large allen bolts.

    And hardly visible. Especially once installed and car is on the ground.

    Nice write up and photos. You will like the added front grip at the track, but could mean your tire consumption goes up and have to carry an extra set of front tires.

    I'm feeling ya for sure on them. My gts is white with black stripes and been looking for black wheels, didn't want to go stock oem either. How are the offsets? Similar to stock?

    Fronts are slightly wider (15mm less positive I believe, PERFECT), rears are only 6MM wider. I have my Lo-Gloss Black OEM Rattlers for sale with decent tires if you don't wanna spend $10K on wheels and tires, lol. Ran them for 3 days, bought rims. Story of my life!

    Very cool. I would imagine adding the front dive planes will create a little more stability along with the splitter working with the large rear wing.
