TA to ACR conversion

[Hawk]

Hi Guys
I have converted my TA into an ACR with the advanced Aero kit from Xtreme Super cars. The kit came with no instructions however Wayne was great with the communications and answering questions to assist me with the installation. The templates he provided were precise and self-explanatory. I created this post to help anyone else thinking about installing the kit. I also installed a few other CF parts along the way. I did not install the front fender vent louvers as I like the clean look of the fenders the way it is and I don’t have a big enough pair to cut into the hood at this time. I did see the post Arizona did when Pappy cut in his louvers. Cutting ACR holes on SRT hood https://driveviper.com/forums/thread...ht=wheel+vents
Perhaps I will attempt it in the future. Along with the Aero kit I will be installing MCS 2-way adjustable shocks with new coils (600# fronts and 1400# rears) that I ordered thru Mark at Woodhouse.
I apologize if my explanations or writing is not great, if anyone has question or would like additional pictures send me a PM
Just a side note I do recommend using blue Loctite on all fasteners except the screws attached to body panel clips

I will be selling the old CF tail and front splitters ,PM or check classified for ad

Here is how it went

Front splitter
Remove the nose of the car by removing all of the body screws, be careful the top screws under the hood have plastic washers under the nose. Remove the lights from the sides by twisting the holder. I had to remove the 1.0 TA front splitters by drilling out the 4 rivets that fasten it to the nose. Next using the fiberglass template mark the underside of the nose for a section to be removed. I used a jigsaw, the entire cut tucks into a slot in the front splitter. It did take a few trimmings to make for a final fit. The most difficult part of this installation is the lip that folds around the inner fender well. The template does not indicate this cut. I sanded the cut edges of the cut to round them over to make the installation into the front splitter slot a little easier. I did need to adjust the slot in the CF splitter slightly (open it up in a few areas) With Wayne’s advice I used a heat gun and some wood shingle wedges. Easy fix
