New wing going on tomorrow!
 
With the new year, it's time to finish off something that didn't get done last year. I'll be installing the Turbo decklid as well as the FVD lip that I acquired a while ago. I'll be posting pics once it is done. Hopefully the weather is going to cooperate here so I can get the installation done.

We had the first snow of the season today and the 4S handled just fine:

Got it from a member on the forum for a good deal. Look for those who had replaced their Turbo wing with a GT2(RS) / GT3RS wing.

Dropped it off this morning, quite a bit of snow / ice on the road.

Good for you!

Kev, take it easy out there. Any snow can be overwhelming for a majority of drivers in the Seattle area. Some of them are oblivious to winter driving conditions. Loved that first hot in the snow.

Thanks doc :)

This is my 3rd winter so I'm painfully aware of how bad the drivers of Seattle are. I'll probably stay in the hospital tomorrow until most of the traffic dissipated before going home.

My bad, Kev. Don't know why I keep thinking that this is your first winter although I very well know your PGY status. BTW, who is doing your decklid conversion ? Is it motoring unlimited ? They have a great crew there for sure.

Subscribed to see the final product. Any plans to switch to a turbo or GT3 front?

Eurotech is doing the install but I'll probably have the guys at MU take a look at the intake snorkel to make sure that they line up with the intake.

Probably doing a Getty Design GT3RS front with OEM RS fender extension and front lip. The real one is a little too rich for my case right now (6500+ from Suncoast)

With the 2 inches of snow that we got last week shutting down the entire city, my car will finally be done tomorrow. I'll post pics as soon as I get it back.
