Default New aero package

Thanks to Rob B. and Matt D. I have a new/used aero package, M003 RS/CS replaces M003 RS, The color match was even pretty good

When I put it back into track trim, this is the longest period that I've used it for the street in years and am falling in love w/it all over again.

How does it compare in feel compared to the previous one? Is it true the car feels lighter?

Won't know till I get to the track.

First observation is that the interior rear view mirror is almost useless.

My car is already pretty light, the RS/CS on a c/f lid is 29#s compared to 20#s for the RS on a steel lid. IMO a fair trade off for the increased downforce

Uh, yeah.

First time with something big hung on back? You think it's bad on the street, wait until you have a "surprise" from a quicker car that you managed to not account for......

(As far as any "difference", I did put the stock lid back on the yellow car one day and the data pulled showed no meaningful change. At my level, anyway. But we've only got ~90MPH apex speeds in the two fastest turns at Thunderhill.)
