I don't think a pair of ducts would look "Ricer" remember, they take their ideas from Euro cars and then go overboard with them. If you put 3 pairs of ducts cover them with screen and 2 pair of driving lights with blue lamps and some graphics/LED lighting then you could hang out with them,,,,,,,,,,,well maybe you would have to put a big wing on the back and a big APC sticker on the back glass to fit in with the nieghbors

Talking

Thanks for the ideas Rob. Definately NO on any sort of side skirt, I really like the way the sides roll under. I'll try to post some more pics this weekend so you can see how it is put together.

If you could recess the whole thing back and under, say an inch or two, I think it would give you the look you want. It breaks up the big front panel, and give it the look of a racing spliter.

Great idea, but major surgery. I know, I know, major surgery is my middle name but the gain vs. work is way too small. I'm gonna shorten it a little this weekend and take a few more pics and see how it looks...

wooo...[in my best ob schneider voice]...john gettin fancy with the photoshop. you been doing some homework. and a great idea. i really like it. not speaking for the work required of course.

if you like the way the side roll under, what about letting the front roll under like it wants to and then only add the splitter underneath it hanging the 1" or 2" it should? just a thought. still liken that VKG logo idea.
