The aero lip is significant larger. Much more aggressive and downforce producing.

That's interesting to know - I thought that only the geometry was different.

Porsche matches the aero front lip with their giant fixed rear wing for a reason.

I had to buy a set of gloss black wheel studs with a set of locking studs today. My wheels are being powder coated gloss black and they couldn't do the studs because the key wouldn't fit on the locks, or so I was told. $351 later I'm getting OEM studs from Porsche. What a racket.

Thank you.

That is very neat - especially those wire knock offs - do you still campaign it in any other events?
