Otto, I've been feeling the same way. The more we're locked up, the more my car seems to keep modifying itself. Starting to get expensive.

thanks for the links

i suppose i was thinking along the lines of "street aero" with that carbon fiber bolt on look, and some modest performance enhancement

Tom:
The NLR wing was a good choice. Design of the element was done in conjunction with Elan (Panoz) so they are more than just a boy racer add on.

Hey Tom, I like it! How did you disable the factory spoiler?

Hi Steve, just saw your question. Omar at Intersport was able to trick the computers into thinking the rear of the car is a 991 with the "Aerokit". That disables the electric spoiler. He used a PWIS to do that.

The original wing and motor is still there, just turned off.

Okay, I had read a couple of PWIS solutions... Code it as a GT4 or change the deployment speed to 200kph. Sounds like there may be another as well. There was also a post somewhere about carving up the lift mechanism, which seemed like quite the kluge.

200 kph isn't high enough - that's only 125mph. Otto's car is a track car.
