Thoughts on this for a Christmas gift

Postby Amail on Mon Dec 14, 2009 11:57 am

Keep this on the hush, but I'm considering buying a performance upgrade for Jerry's 944s. I've found a line on some trick aero components, but I'm not sure how well it would bolt up.

What do you guys think?

I think that's the support for the patio cover for a doublewide trailer. :lol: Those kids in metal shop sure are ingenious.

Those wing supports are the latest to minimize vortex effects at high speeds.

It looks like florescent light bulbs to me. If so, that has to be the lightest wing ever made. :roflmao:
