That looks like a good opportunity for a custom radiator module that would allow you to remove that crazy amount of radiator support bracing, get cold air in that air filter thingy (easy 1000 horsepower increase), lose weight (like 50 pounds, or a lite beer addiction equivalent), look faster (duh), and have some stuff that matches the color of your Porshaaaaa.

Well I think he's correct. You should strongly consider his recommendations.

Being that i missed most the driving events this year, i could of made this weekends American Auto-x event but decided to fore-go on beating the car as i'm driving it to Chicago from the Bay Area for the start of the Good-guys road tour, Chicago to Texas Motor Speedway, Sept 24-30.
So, while i had my oldest son's wedding in June, with the reception in our back yard, the majority of January - June was focused on the house and family. July went in a blink (did squeeze a trip to New York in with friends again) and August was vacation-thirty at Tahoe!!
In the mean time, july to current, ordered and installed 6p Baer calipers in the front, helped greatly street driving with no booster, still looking forward to the track and see how it does, Hopefully October's Shelby event, if the Texas road trip is "uneventful" and the car is delivered in time...we'll see.
Also ordered Dr. Sutton's secret sauce recipe Ridetech's for the front shocks (single adjustable) as the whole front end is "up in the air" with a possible change to the new Speedtech set up. Gonna wait a year or two for that too happen, in the mean time, the front end whoa's are cured (ended the "floaty" feeling i couldn't adjust out with the previous coil-overs) and installing the
triple adjustable Ridetech's for the rear. I really wanted to support Ridetech, they've done alot for our community and provide some of the best service in the business for our hobby.
Recharged the a/c, lowered it a bit more.
To do, wipers, sort out the sound system, exhaust muffler change and rout the back exhaust over the axle and out the back, align, make a "modern" console, and a new trunk lock.
Oh, then complete respray and body work and new interior LOL...Jk, well, not really, just not now......
Plus a new front spoiler on the P-car....

Nice choice on your shocks! I like the way you think!

The weird science formula is simple: for every day you looked at the BMF thread, it somehow causes your ride to spend a day on jack stands.
