Kurt,
My guess is you've already thought out all the pertinent details. But that JLeno'esque chin spoiler looks to be a formidable challenge for getting that beast onto a trailer. Easily removable? Air suspension for just such occasions?......

Trailer? Aren't you going to drive it to the track?

The black part comes off the bumper in about 5 min. It is made to tear away leaving the bumper when I go lawn mowing, groundhog grinding or bunny bisecting. The "leno" portion is made in two sections that can tear off individually. I made an extra set of splitter panels, not for just in case, for when. I am also tinkering with a set of spacer blocks that slip between the top of the coil spring and the strut top. When the car is jacked there is a 2 inch + gap as I don't have keeper springs yet. Jack the car up, slide round slotted spacers in and lower car with an extra 2 inch clearance. The fronts are easy peasy to make install and remove. The rears not as simple. Lifting the front is all that is needed to ease loading anyway. BTW BBII looks like molten glass. Jack likely spent more on more time and effort in the fiberglass and paint that I have in my whole car. Two different animals from different sides of the track. The white 911 looks like I painted it in a day and did not touch it with sandpaper which is close to the truth.

Getting here late.....didn't realize it was done. Looks nice. However in the rear the tailpipe doesn't seem to line up with the hole in the valence. I'm a little disappointed.
