Put in Zacks old K sports today. I might have to raise the front end a bit to level the car and keep the fender from chewing away at my tire. Also have been working on the Talon conversion. Got the spoiler mounted after drilling out a pile of holes and then filing them square for the inserts. Temporarily mounted the door panels and side skirts until I can get them painted.

I agree on the black spoiler on the teal car.  I would have left it a Laser tho  Wink  Corvette guys hate getting beat by a Laser  Cheesy


And yes, raise the front up a bit.  Not only for the reasons you mentioned, but because these cars are already nose heavy, and with it setup like it its, its worse.  Level out the front and you move some weight to the rear.

LOL! Good job, Shane! Hahaha


Or.. just do the classic gunmetal trim that the Laser has.

Thanks guys! Nice work Shane! Thats awesome, gives me something to think about when its time for the paint. I have everything I need to put on the 1gb talon rear bumper too, I just haven't yet because you have to take off the old Laser upper bumper support and weld in the one from the Talon. My Talon rear bumper is black too. I also need 1gb Talon side vents and the metal clips that go with them if anyone has some sitting around!!

The more I look at them, the more I really like the first one with the small black strip at the bottom. That's kick ass. Thanks for the wicked idea Shane.
