I did the orange on the SVT, it looks awesome. But is that spoiler providing lift?
It's a bad angle on the pic, plus I need to redo the mounting pads. Those were kinda a rush made part. The finished ones will take into account the weight of the wing, versus the strength of the trunk. Ya, our trunks are not as strong as a Mustang thats for sure!
 
lift on the back could provide down force on the front :idea: in theory any way:crazy:
 
It could actually be two, although I've never seen that green as an exterior colour. I miss mine.
it looks like steveo from probetalk, he has another that has a body kit and ksports, its a flat green if its his.

why are the jack caps always about to fall off of that silfro svtc?!??
 
Damn that orange SVT is sexy! I like everything except the wing. Not because of the style but because it's sloping down too much. If there was a way to adjust it and make it level on the trunk it would be perfect.

It looks like all the jack point clips on the SF SVT are broken and/or not locked it completely.
 
Ya, I'm making new mounting pads for the wing as we speak. The natural slope of the contour trunk is fairly extreme, so when I made the originals, I didn't account for the weight and downforce of the wing on this car. So it started to push the top layer of sheet metal down in the back of the trunk. Look close at rear shot of my car, you can barely see right at the pads, it pushed the metal down. This created that tilted look. I'm going to try and revise the mounts to handle the weight better, plus distribute any loads across more of the trunk surface. I like the wing, just needs fine tuning. I would have done this sooner, but a 400 mile one way drive down at 100+ seemed to show what the air will do to it.

As for the SF's jack covers, his tabs got broken. If anyone has any extras let him know, he's on here too.
 
Those door panels are SICK!!!!!!!!!!
My great aunt lives accross the street from that park, I went way back in the early 80's as a kid before it was huge like it is now, its still free I hear though
 
yes free to get in, cost to show. I think it's free anyway.

OMG I should have entered my car!

Non op right now awaiting some engine parts! annnd some other goodies.
 
The orange car is one of the nicest I've seen--the paint and interior (which I want to see more of) are amazing...but the spoiler needs to go
