Carbon Rear Spoiler installed
by Ronald on Mar.13, 2011, under Garage
Another piece of carbon added to our car; The rear spoiler. A custom made one with water cutted mounts with our projectdc5 url in it. Since the car will be very light in the rear, we have choosen for a large wing to get to drag we need. Once the car is ready to roll we can finish the tests and adjust the spoiler to the optimal position.
Save weight……use carbon parts!!
by Reinier on Oct.09, 2010, under Garage
It was obvious that there would be al lot of “black gold” on our race car. Showoff Imports is the biggest European dealer of Seibon carbon therefore of course some nice products to show our customers. The hood already was carbon fibre but it was painted, we chose a new one. To save some weight on the back end the trunk should be replaced, carbon, what else! Probably the top peace of our carbon mania, the doors. They look great in real life, you have to trust me on that. Hard to capture on a photo but we sure tried.
Glass is also very heavy on a car, we replaced all the windows, except the front one (for now), with polycarbonate ones. They are made beautifully, just like the oem windows, just a hell of a lot lighter!
