Looks great Mark... I am wondering how much weight savings with the carbon fiber parts on the front.

Look forward to more pictures on the build and info on the dry sump system install. The front spoiler looks great!

All of that carbon fiber looks awesome. As already stated, stance is spot on too.:G-Dub:

Mark,

It appears lower than some of your other Camaros.

Is it, or will it be?

We slammed it down for the car party. Not sure if we will run it that low. It is about an inch lower than Red Devil.

Have you designed a bumper bar behind the carbon yet? Alloy or CM?

Good Work Mr. Stielow :thumbsup:

We will build a bumper stiffener made out of CM. It also need to reinforce the lower grill support.

Mark,As always camaro look's great.

that whole front clip is a piece of art, especially the fit on the bumper.

Hey Mark, how is the fit with the 315s? I bought a set of Anvil's fenders recently and I'm curious if you're happy with how the wheel and tire sits, or if you needed to add a little more backspace, or trim the inside of the fender lip to get the wheel and tire to turn without issue.

thanks,

Matt

The parts fit better than I though they would. Also then it is all bolted together the stuff feels very stiff.

All my previous projects has a lot of tire rubbing and the steel parts just lost their paint. This CF parts will most likely wear away. My plan is to add steering stops and try the 18 X 11 with 7 inch back spacing. The problem is the AutoXs with the 180 degree turns. Also with AutoX like Holley Fest where there is a big bump in a very sharp turn could junk a fender. The steel parts could take a lot of abuse. Unsure on this CF stuff durability. I really like the parts and think I can make it all work.
