RS 4.0 pics of Airbox & Diveplanes
This airbox is almost a piece of art - notice the double cone filters
And the diveplanes / canards (actually bigger than what I thought)

Any other colors? They should have at least a couple more like the GT2 RS imo. Looks soft compared to the 3.8RS.

FYI, as I understand it, dive planes are actually pretty awesome. Everyone who doesn't think they look bad should add a pair. I've read that they work by creating vortexes along the side of the car. Smooth airflow is good where the car is smooth AND flat, but along the side you have the wheel arches. Turns out you have less drag AND less lift when you have dive planes in many situations. It's a win win.

I always do a low RPM cooldown lap + I thought it is better to leave that fan running?
