    No group buy. I already ordered parts (and have them in hand) so I can benefit from buying large quantities. I just guessed at potential demand and ordered a handful.

    Almost forgot. I have a $10 discount good if you buy the hood and trunk louvers. If you buy the hood louvers or trunk louver and the fender vents you get a $5 discount. Buy all three and get a $15 discount. Applies to previous orders.

    There won't be much of the fiberglass left with all these vents (side vent, hood vents, bumper vents, trunk vents, fender vents, door vents, etc.) !

    I debated on exactly where I wanted them. I looked at pictures of other race cars and thats where I came up with the current location. I also have the door vents at the rear. The Wind Tunnel was booked.

    The new Viper ACR has them centered over the tire. Talking with the engineers at the press introduction last week before the UTCC they work great, even better with just open holes...
    I'll upload a better pic tonight

    Some rules require them to be open because the carbon fiber "vents" would break off and puncture other people's tires. I like the look of vents better.

    The red Viper has the vents in it, the other 4 did not. The engineer said that the car without the 6 hood screens and the two fender louvers removed it made over 70 lbs more downforce than with all the screens in

    It was easy to check tire wear and make compression/rebound adjustment on the shocks :-)

    I'm in without a doubt for trunk and fenders. How far away are you from having the hump vents?

    Got quotes today. Can order some tomorrow. They'd be here in little over a week most likely.

    Lol. If I get good quotes on prices I have better prices. I try to maintain consistent margins but truth is, if I had $1million I'd probably still do this and just sell everything at cost.


    Shipped out a couple sets yesterday on my way home from my business trip.
