That's one, beautiful Club Coupé! And the Aerokit just adds to the whole package.
Having recently seen my first Club Coupé "in person," I must say the color is so much more striking "live" than in photos. It's a color I would seriously consider over Black (big step for me!), but it was not (and should not be) available.
You fortunate CC owners are indeed a lucky bunch!

Question

NICE LOOKING RIDE!!!
I know that Florida is pretty flat...
Have you had any problems with the 5.125" ground clearance of the Aerokit nose?

Why I ask is that the ground clearance of the Aerokit is 0.5" lower than the rubber spliter on the stock "S" but 6" forward.
In So Cal i regularly brush the stock splitter, an Aerokit would be misery...

Funny you should ask! At 700 miles, I was forced into a hump in a road and scrapped it badly. I had it replaced and am fixing the old one for future use. I was going to lower the car a bit, as I have on my last 4 P-cars. I never had a scrape episode like this. The car is staying at this hight forever. You are correct that the problem is the front edge is so far ahead of the tire contact patch. My GT2 lip is 1" lower but a couple inches closer to the tire. It has not been damaged yet at 11,000 miles.

Larry: Of course it's beautiful. The photos are excellent too. Thanks for sharing. The only other customer ordered CC I've seen and touched in person so far also has stone grey interior and aero kit. It's #6, the owner's race number was 6, his car was built on the 6th, and was delivered (no, not on the 6th) with 6.6 miles on the odo. It now sits in a bubble garage in his showroom with 6.6 still on the odo. I think I've posted that before, but I like the story too much to just let it go.
