who did your clear bra? did they not remove your mirrors??? Or is that just a scratch above the mirrors?

If you are using VBox or Aim Solo, etc, you can save a bit of coin by not selecting the stupid dash wart and useless Porsche Track App too.
That's another $550 you can use for brakes & tires! (OK, maybe one tire, but still)

the "scratch" you see above the mirror is the "seam" for the clear bra on the door panel.

the "scratch" you see above the mirror is the "seam" for the clear bra on the door panel - GMG does not appear to make plastic ones, I've tested them unto 145 mph and buffeting is greatly reduced and I'm rarely above 145 mph for any length of time - on various straight aways however I do spend some time above 80 mph where the stock configuration has dramatic buffeting problems - so far the GMG ones are my recommendation - but are a bit pricey due to the CF styling and market rates.

I like the sports chrono but I know this is a divisive issue from a build/style perspective - I find the rudimentary lap data I can get with it sometime to be adequate when I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like downloading the VBox data.

Mirrors remove in < 5 minutes per side for seamless clear bra installs.

yeah - I agree - there are a couple of things I'm not happy about for the clear bra - I'm working with the vendor to bring it up to spec.

Hello, I saw that you have some lightly used CF OEM window triangles for sale, I'm interested to buy them. Is it possible for you to ship them to Sweden?

Do you have some pictures of the OEM CF triangles?

Best regards, Fredrik

Dave, how was the fitment for the CF wind diffusers? Did you have to make any alterations. Do they seem durable?

Thanks for sharing. I also have a set of these (non-CF ones) and are about to install before heading out again to the next track day. Also, great laps, were you running stock set up on your car?

yes - I'm running stock setup on factory Dunlop tires - I'm looking forward to moving to Michelin's when the Dunlops wear out…

the GMG window triangles fit excellent - no modifications required - it's a 5-10 min job - mostly searching for tools in my un-organized box!
