Definitely looking forward to results of the oil cooler panels. Did you only create plates for the sides? Or did you do the top and bottom also?
Thanks! All 4 sides have to be boxed in to make it effective.

What do you think about switching to Enkei Rpf-1s rims in 17-inch with 275 tire square set up? They are incredibly light and I am guessing 17' should fit stock brakes. I heard reducing rotational mass makes a huge difference in turns of driving feel. Correct me if I am wrong, but the forgestars are not exactly lightweight rims?
Also, on the subject of reduce weight, what do you think about single catback exhaust? that should cut some weight as well.
Like mentioned above, 17s will only fit on non-sport model cars, but the idea is there. The lighter the better. Forgestar F14s are actually right along the same weight range as the RPF-1s. As an example, the 18x10" Forgestar F14 is in the 18 lb. range while the 18x10" RPF-1 is actually in the 19 lb. range according to information I found on the internet. I didn't weigh mine personally. As for the exhaust, again lighter is always better but weight that is below the center of gravity and in the middle of the car, like an exhaust, is probably the least effective weight mod as far as handling goes. For me, power/torque benefits of an exhaust comes first, then weight. If power/torque gains are similar then go for the lighter one but if you gain more power at the expense of a little more weight, I think that will be more beneficial.
