Updates on front bumper under tray

Wow! With the front bumper under tray wind noise has decreased dramatically. The only wind noise i hear now is from my tiny side mirrors.

Also, i've noticed that engine temps have lowered a bit.

Before the undertray, engine temps would peak at 202*F

With undertray, engine temps only peak at 200*F

Sweet deal.

Has that all important wrx/STi rumble been affected by any of the changes you've made?

Of course not!

If anything, the rumble is more noticeable now because wind noise has been reduced.

That's what I was hoping to hear.

And now the ricers will accept this as a legitimate mod: it makes the car sound more powerful to the people inside it!

And you're getting more bang for your booooooost thanks to your car having to work less against the wind!

Having your cake and eating it too, indeed!

Rear wheel boat tail v2.0 and rear bumper vertical spoilers

I decided to blend the rear wheel boat tail and bumper spoilers to one piece. I ran out of fiberglass to continue.

Will update on Monday




I might have started a new ecomodding technique... TAD...

There's gotta be a good reason for that twinkie. Surely.

That is a rad design. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

How will you go about getting it to match the car's looks color-wise. Plastidip? I just wonder about the tape since it's a different color blue.
