I need to paint the bumper, and paint the *hood* eyelets the same color.
I'm hoping to find one or two coatings that helps conduct heat for the eyelets.

I need to cut out a nice bit for a tow hook out of the rear bumper.

The more I look at this picture, the more I think that heat boiling off the pipes ahead of the diff is where a significant amount of added heat is coming from. The pipes themselves look like they're occupying space in what's already a restricted area for air flow

Agreed and helps explain why 'cooldown laps' do not really help the diff so much..

The wrap is not heavy x2 !

Best mod so far: Schroth 4-point harness
(If I didn't have the Recaro's from Factory, next would be racing seats)

Theres nothing like being correctly secured in place, commanding turns/braking rather than maintaining..

Wrap wrap

Able to get this much done with 2 rolls. Wish I had bought more!

*working from back to front, and have plans for coated headers..

I agree on the rear camber, you'd have to have 3.5 up front or so to offset that.

Going to try to increase the front camber as you say - and keep the rear as-is.

I would just wrap there (near the diff), around where its close to the trans, and the headers. Other than that, there shouldn't be issues. Maybe near the fuel tank, but it shouldn't be a problem.

If I'm wrapping that much, I figure I might as well wrap the system consistently until its 'not wrapped'.. Keeping the exhaust gases hot until exit may have extra bonus in this case.. my .02..

I now really like the look.... It had to grow on me.

now want carbon fiber front splitter for visual + performance balance.

Top priority however is getting the rear wing nailed down so it will not flex the trunk metal from stock orientation. Wednesday..! So a full day of Laguna with scary flex in the rear view! (Might remove wing )

Not nearly as big as this guys wing on his Nissan.

But when I watched it, it was interesting to see initially all the downforce was in the rear with nothing in front.
