If you guys are concerned about the nose, please check out the intercooler ducts. I've recently removed mine to find a ton of leaves and cigarette butts in there. I strongly advise all smokers to avoid tossing their cigarette butts out the window as that's where they'll end up.

one worry i have is whether there is any hampering of air flow with the mesh. I guess the fact the race teams use it means it should be ok, but I have been a little hesitant to get the mesh on.

if you look at your car the air comes in the front grille and is ducted UNDER the car look at the little vents, thus causing lift if anything.

the GT2 set up has larger radiator and it is canted for the air to flow through it (more cooling) and then out the top GT2 bumper grille and over the hood of the car giving downforce.

also the bumper I am putting on has a larger front CF splitter to compensate for the large 63 inch CF wing.

stuff getting painted now will post later.

thanks for reading....
Tom one drawback to the exiting hot hair over the top is that in rainy weather or when the front radiator is moist, the hot, moist escaping air goes over the bonnet and fogs out the front windscreen completely...

Some of the GT3 track guys around here are using that blue ac filter material in the openings, seems to work for them.

Must be the damn tropical humidity...

Thinking about it, its most likely due to the fact that outside temperatures here are always hotter than within the car as we are using airconditioners 24/7 even when raining hence the difference in external and internal temps affecting the hot air that goes over the windscreen and causes it to condense over...
