The closest is a stick-on lip that is not quite as nice, in my opinion.
Yes I agree I love my sport design rear spoiler on my GTS

Bump - I'd also be intersted in these front & rear pads, if seeing some recommendations here on RL...

Didn’t buy today, but installed a Numeric Racing shifter and cable set over the last week. Night and day difference with the way the vehicle shifts. Shifter was an easy install, cables took a while. Need to drive some more but so far a happy camper. Short throws are very nice!

Have seen these mentioned a few times on here. Would I get the same positive effect on the manual shifter on my Carrera T? Does it feel a more direct, metallic, mechanical shift? Could I retain my T gearknob?

Cheers!

It's definitely my #1 mod + Function First **** for all MT cars. If you include the cables, it will transform the shifting experience from day to night.

If you insist, yes you can retain your T ****, same thread pattern.

A set of Blackmill wind deflectors.

Looking forward to a reduction in the wind buffeting.

Is that Highway 9 by Saratoga Gap, south of Cupertino?. If so, looks like a really nice road....Says the man who must drive the Long Island X-way every day.
It is. Can be Exhilarating and Terrifying at the same time.

Working on some more upgrades with an aFe cold air intake, Soul headers, Cobb Accessport and a Pro Tune (John at Apex Autowerks) in mid September when I have the time to spend at the shop and dyno.

Apparently there are some Gen 2 Long Tube Competition Headers by Soul coming out next month, - looks good. I am thinking about going “catless”.

Anybody here done anything like this. If my math is right, everything combined should net out some great torque gains. This would effectively push the GTS’s torque well above GT3 factory. I just learned that the GTS and GT3’s torque is identical, stock.

Theoretically making me a lot faster out of the hole...

Thank you Gentlemen. I drop the car off for them to paint the spoiler and install today! Im going out of town so I wont see it for a week. But It will be ready once I get home! WOO HOO! Cant wait to see it in person since I havent yet! Only pictures which never seem to be far enough out to really see the profile.

I will report back next week with some pictures.
