Be prepared to to possibly add endplates or dive planes to go with the wing.

Oh yeah I forgot about the dive planes. I’ve been holding off on those until now to avoid moving the aero balance too far forward. Luckily I have the end plates already but they are hard to see in the pic. Little mpg killers those are.

Depending on how big of a wing I get, I may install splitter diffusers. How do you feel about the Sard reps? $1k cheaper than the Verus small wing but I know one is obviously way better than the other...

I am not familiar with the Sard rep wings. I have the APR GTC200, it is under 1K and works very well. I have it at the minimum AOA the included brackets will allow and it understeers without endplates and dive planes. Wanted the Verus wing but 1900 was a little too hard to justify.

What exactly is it?

Where did you get it?

How does it go on? Adhesive, snap over?

How is the color match to Cherry Blossom?

I'll be damned if this didn't calm down most of the hood lift. It still ever so slightly lifts at higher speeds now, but doesn't lift near as much as it did before. Thanks, norcalpb.

its just red.. cant find a cherry blossom to match but it looks good in person tho.. if you find a cherry blossom let me know

its a adhesive tape.. works good just need to clean and wipe before putting it on.. sticks good and comes off easy and dont leave any sticky residue

Swapped the STI brake pads for O.E. because the squeaking was not worth it for the daily drive. Also my HOA complained lol

Changed my engine oil and differential oil today. Here is what my differential drain plug looked like with 32k miles.
