Motorsports Type 3 front spoiler installed - almost....

[snarpee]

Hey guys,

 

Just thought Id share a pic of my new Motorsports Auto type 3 front spoiler.

 

I had to move teh side wheel arch's back 2" in order to make it fit they way I wanted.

 

I cut the ends off my bumber, and installed it using 4 1/4-20 bolts from under neath the bumber, the nuts are welded on inside the bumber.

 

Then I used the factory airdam mounting locations underneath the headlight buckets.

 

My car has different fron hubs which increased the track width, not to mentin the 17" wheels that also made the spoiler not fit. A few cuts with the die grinder (of course no mask, and short sleeves, dam Im itchy now...) and the fibberglass pieces were all patch bak up and ready for business.

 

In the future I plan on making the center spoiler and actually spoiler that will generate more downforce, and fill in the grill openeings with stianless steel mesh.

Quick questions, since I'm about to get ready for the same exact work (MSA type 3 all around with wide CF ZG flares)

 

Seems like the front flares are mounted lower than the original line. Am I correct?

Wheel & tire specs?

Are you using the Z31 hubs?

I have modded the heck out of mine to make it wit with my custom wheel/tire setup... it's off the car right now while I plan on closing off more of the front openings/flows to the radioator box better.  Check it in my build thread for progress.

We have done the same as Mikelly said. We moulded the msa type 3 kit but using corvette flairs to get the rear with we needed to fit the tires. If you can mold in the kit, personally i fine it looks way better then just having the bolt holes
