How do you think that affects the aerodynamics? Should have more leverage and cleaner air right? I'm no engineer but it seems like it would produce significantly more down force

Any anecdotal evidence? Or did you never have the wing in its original configuration?

Installed the inevitable and obligatory high flow filter and inlet tube



Now, let me preface that the car does have 30K km on it now, and I haven't changed the air filter yet, so the increase in performance could very well be simply due to a new filter. This could also be placebo effect, and it's raining today and my car seems to like rain cause it feels a lot peppier, but the effect is definitely appreciable. If I'm at 3K rpm in 4th or 5th and try to accelerate, usually the car would sorta hesitate until it gets to greener pastures at 4.5K+ rpm. Now it just picks up and goes. I wasn't expecting to feel any difference, so I'm pleasantly surprised.

Wow am I posting twice in a row? Embarrassing. Clearly I have no life lol. Anywayy

Installed the Radium kajigger.



Curious to see what effect it'll have.

But before that I went into the interior and swapped out the traction control buttons and the A/C console silver trim for black ones.

Here's what it looked like before.



And here's after. MUCH better

I really like that. What percent tint did you use? Or was it spray on?
