OK, pcguru2000, I took your advice and raced up to Walmart.

You should have seen those old coots, pushing their walkers, scatter, when I drifted into the parking lot ......

So I have been having so much fun working on my car today, I decided to flush the brakes too! New fluid!!!

does everybody hate on the sbd500x because its apparently a rip off of the greddy or whatever or does it have actual issues, im so torn between turbo or sc. I keep telling myself im gonna want 500+ hp so i should just turbo but deep down i know ill stop at 300 so sc is better, sheesh twin problems lol

My plate is central over the lower part of the grille, PLUS I have fly-wire mesh with 1.2mm square holes to keep bugs off the radiator. It does not overheat ,ever, even on a day of 40 degrees Celsius. I wouldn't have the mesh with an intercooler.

Having the plate off-center would mess with the aerodynamics and cause different drag left-to-right and cause the car to go in a circle?

Thinking laterally about this important topic, why don't plates come perforated?

Car doesn't go in a circle as long as you have your alignment done to offset it. The drag from the off-center plate makes it pull right so you need a little toe out on the left front wheel, and a matching amount of toe in on the right, so they both point to the left a bit.

I thought of that but to get the alignment right you'd need to do a dynamic alignment that varies with air speed.

Ultimate idea is an holographic plate projected. Top that if you can smarty!

Thanks.
Upon further research It turns out that part# is for the 13-16 cars, and not the 17+. The photo shows the 17 grill, which is misleading.

Today was nice and sunny so I put on the rims I bought a little while back ago.

Rims are replica Audi, 5X100, 17X7.5 Inch, +35MM Offset, riding on 225/45/R17 tires.

Thoughts?/validations?/Offers to buy them right from me because they are so sweeetttt... Lol

They look better than the OEM 13-16 wheels!

Gotta do the drift into the handicap parking spot!

Were the younger ones asking you to make the car bounce? I was in a Christmas parade in a pace car and the younger folks would yell that request out. Somehow, they thought the pacecar should have 16 switches and big sub-woofers.

Did the tire lettering thing as well. First ones lasted 3 summers.

Nah, after the younger ones saw me hit that speed bump at 50 MPH, they all scattered ….that's all the bouncing they wanted to see out of my car …...
