So where's the wind testing data? There anything done to under the car? Wheel sizes? Why is it on bags? Something nobody who seriously races these car would do.

Gonna say I actually like it better than stock. Makes the rest of the body match the fender vents and running boards. More cohesive than the random lines that stock gives.

Nicer than RB and the melted soap bar look of the stock car. But still falls under above.

Don't care if it's rice. It looks really good.

Did anybody say different?
Not that I read.

Why would a company like that run a wind tunnel testing? Is this meant for racing?

If need something with aero studies, contact Kyle
www.jkfaero.com

Going back to the widebody, why do they run flares on fronts? Wouldn’t be better to go to full replacement of the fender?

My issue with these wide body kits is that I would want the power to back up the looks

WNDSRFR 09-11-2022 11:42 AM

Agreed.
Looks good. Better be fast.

If you're gonna look like a whore, you better BE a whore.

I'm kind of the opposite. I like it to look stock and shock the hell out of people with performance.

This kind of thing is nice to look at, but I wouldn't put my money there. Every dollar making it look fast is a dollar you didn't spend making it GO fast. Because there's always more you can do to make it faster. Aero doesn't come in until it's the cheapest thing holding you back.

Not to say there's anything wrong with doing whatever makes you happy. I'm just saying that this isn't where I'd spend my money.

How is that super different that what you posted.
They said they'd want the power/performance to back up that wide body kit not the opposite.

IE the last thing left IS the body kit.

The difference is they're talking about keeping looks/power equal.

I'm specifically saying I want them unequal, but in the opposite direction from people that this type of kit generally prefer.

I always want it to be faster than it looks. Mvhs09 wants it to be as fast as it looks. Rocket Bunny types want it to look as fast as possible and actual performance comes second (stereotypically).
