Default Test fitting my Vertex kit and C-West GT Wing

Figured I'd post up some phone pics of my car with the Vertex kit on (not fully mounted) and the C-West GT wing mounted.

This was done yesterday at my buddy BK's shop. The kit hasn't been painted yet, and the holes from the stock wing haven't been filled yet. But you can get an idea of how it'll all look when it's done.

Looks good so far. Are you going to have the car resprayed? Keeping the cherry blossoms or no?

I need to come see BK Industries next time I'm in Boise.

Bought it used off a guy in the Seattle area. He posted it FS in the northwest section.

I'm not going to respray the entire car. Doing so would force me to lose the blossoms, which I don't want to do.

Def have to swing by BK. Do you come to Boise often?

I remember seeing your custom wheel thread, I must admit they look better now because of the kit and wing. Well done sir

jcity... i really want to do a compilation of your best quotes.

just don't have the time.

this kit came off the HKS demo car, so that's prob why the stickers
are there. i am really impressed. i know you got a CRAZY deal on
this setup - maybe 1/4 retail. gonna be perfect when you're done.

do a full wiper smooth when you patch the trunk.

nice. one of the better constructed GT wings on the market IMHO..

you'll notice the downforce it makes once you start seeing the dimples on the hatch after you hit 130+ a few times. lol.

Yeah, that kit is pretty sweet... Is the wing adjustable for downforce?

Dropped the kit off for paint this morn. Should be able to get the car down there in the next couple days to have the hatch done and all the holes filled. I'm hoping to have everything back together by the end of next week!

Cool wing. Was considering one of those when I used to track back in the day. Please paint the wheels at some point.
