If you can't even see a cop, think of all the other things you can't see.

Take it to the track.
he's in australia. I'm pretty sure speed there is measured in KPH, not MPH. so OP wasn't in excess of 100mph. i get what you're trying to say, but OP was traveling at speeds that are the norm for a freeway


btw OP your car looks mean.

Thanks...and yeah maybe a little context wouldve helped lol, 140kph isn't that much over the limit here. But in no way am I defending my actions. Speeding is speeding no matter how you look at it. My first ticket in like 10 years or something like that so I guess I was due lol

Bumped the curb while parking the other day and it popped out the side marker, by the time I realised what had happened it had already been chewed up by a hungry XXR :|

Still gonna go with the Grazio? As lame as it sounds Ebay has some pretty sweet lips and CS(And Chargespeed Reps) for a damn good price. I went with the GT Lip and CS skirts and rear aprons. I don't regret it one bit.

Yeah I'm hearing you on the Ebay stuff, so cheap! I'll probably Ebay the skirts and aprons but the lip needs to be as low a profile as possible. It's already too low as it is, but it's a good price to pay for the way it looks lol

Right? I occasionally scrape(only the lip) on huge dips, but that's about it. Get a flat panel lip is key.
