^ yes, but if you go that way, you've already "trimmed" your valance for a dual, so you'll have an empty hole. I purchased an extra valance to hoard just in case (1) I don't like the dual or (2) the next guy wants it single or stock.

Valid point! How much did you pick up the extra valance for? I believe it was on Pelican for about $135?

^ Yes, about that, and I got the little seal to go with it. I like choices. ;-)

I would like to add one more thing. Track days are so much fun, can't say enough. Making a car faster is human nature for people like us. But the one thing that I love, other than the real thing is "iracing" cuz the track is expensive for me and winter doesn't help either, up in Canada anyway. Don't knock it till you try it. Cheers..

Steve is 100% correct. You have no need to improve performance for street driving. You can't even use 50% of the car on public roads. Stop wasting your time. You're better off learning to correctly drive what you've already got. It is plenty car for DE as well. You don't buy new tennis rackets, you learn to play the game.

the above is a commonly made stmt. and it is true if max. speed on public roads is your only goal

but if fun on public roads is your goal, then mods to the car can be very helpful

^ Agree. Nothing wrong with buying a really good tennis racket to learn the game. Or golf clubs. And so on. I don't think anything has been mentioned in this thread that's "over the top" for a street car.
