Halloween costume or waste of carbon fiber!!

Did all that energy do anything for eco-efficiency? All that carbon fiber Reventon spoilers, canards, diffusers, lowering, wheel pie plates, etc. did nothing but increase your douche bag level by epic proportions!... (like the side mirror replacement cameras though.)

Lowering's usually good, but not 4-6 inches. The front end looks goofy. I like the "Star Trek Nacelle" side-view cameras :



The wheel covers are intriguing because they could serve as a mount for pizza pans :



It also appears that these covers would have the classic problem of filling the airs in the tires.

I usually agree with moderate lowering ride height but the slamming elevations like the example involves, extra tire friction due to deviation of efficient camber angles, instability from increased bump steer & harsh rides because of unbalanced spring rates. Lots & lots of bottoming-out friction, undercarriage sparks and shattered CF pieces. Aero aside, not smooth.

Trying to find out the efficiency rational for the orange-anodized perforated wheel fence (& added weight).

Set aside a good portion of your days for cleaning those wheels so they don't look like crap.

Those tires don't look like they hold too much air...

They're almost at the point where a solid airless tire would be comparable?
