I def want to see it but knowing it's widebody I know it's totally out of the question for me.

Thats the plan! I am working with John to help develop from basic stock replacements all the way to full widebody!!!

I wonder why no one has mentioned a hood yet...

Nikon FM · 06-17-2009, 07:30 PM

Some of the looks presented in this post are really nice but being an engineer who has done work in wind tunnels I'm wondering who is going to put the kit in a wind tunnel, measure the static pressures and really prove the kit has effective aero and does not induce too much drag? Anyone out there do CFD work at home? 3D CFD would be less expensive than renting a wind tunnel...........

I like the looks and all but without some data to back it up I think the total effectiveness is a big unknown.

miguez · 06-17-2009, 07:37 PM

Yep, that I believe would be everyone's aim, to have very little drag for a significant increase of downforce, cooling, and venting (hood, fender, etc)

Shush!!! lol thats exactly whats going to be done with the widebody! John is pulling a specialist down to do just that while my car is at his shop

As far as a hood John and I are working on a few design ideas... If you have an idea please express it the more ideas the better

Stock hood with some heat vents on either side of the two ribs that form the center.

Ignore the front lip for now. I know that it is lift-generating just by looking at it. Will work on it.

But right now I just penciled in some vents on the stock hood and the Mine's-style openings.

one of my designs I did before the final design:

A modification of an already beautiful photoshop:

m4a1mustang · 06-17-2009, 08:31 PM

Not really digging either of those. Will wait to see your final design!

Endgame · 06-17-2009, 09:17 PM

I like the spoiler on your first design a lot!!! The other parts don't move me. Waiting for the final design...
