I thinkI'm going to keep the car agressive/ somewhat classy for now. Once fully paid off and out warranty and I have another car, Ill go "full dicknose" as I call it.

Huge spoiler, huge splitter and diffuser, coilovers with a little more camber, tires stickers maybe yellow film and matching yellow fog lights. Maybe weight reduce and add a cage depending on how much track duty it sees.

But yeah imho this does not look at home on a stock car.

Just make sure you also get proper sponsor decals like the boys at Top Gear did for their race car.

The only thing theirs needs is some yellow headlamps and it would be perfect

So ur going full retard? Tire stickers too huh? Maybe some 2F2F quote stickers on the rear window? Don't forget to put a type-R badge on it.

I like the idea. Depends on the color of your car it may pop. Red/Yellow is not looking so good.

Haha, No quotes and no type R. Basically as fully functional track duty that is also street safe and legal.

Imo is full retard if you don't track your car. Isn't if you actually use it for track duty

I still got about a year and a half left on warranty though, and I change my mind on what I want for lunch every 5 minutes. Who knows maybe I'll take it back to stock in a year.... Unlikely though.

Ps I know tire letters are not functional. I do like the look on a track/racecar though.

tire letters on scrub race tires are fine, when you glue stickers to your tires, its full retard, and serves no purpose unless you are sponsored by said tire company. Other than that its rice and belongs with the stance ppl. Just my opinion, which is worthless.
