I was kind of worried about the talk of instability with the front aero and no rear aero, so that had me leaning towards ducktail. But now I’ve got the full Aerokit, so that problem is solved.

Just paint them silver and they will look brand new. I've done it on several cars now.

Yeah that was one idea, though I wonder about heat. Your paint efforts have held up without issue?

100% no issues as i would always use proper caliper paint. And super easy to touch up if needed the next time i had the wheel off.
