Why not do performance upgrades to the engine? You have a beast looking car with no power whatsoever... Idk seems like a waste to upgrade the suspension and brakes to leave the engine stock.

Give me a sec to look through my order history and ill tell you what dimensions I got for the wrap.

To each their own. Power isnt everything and the end all be all. I'm happy with what power the car currently has.

The new suspension did wonders for my car on the track. Still understeers like crazy, but nothing compared to what it use to. Next track day is in July and I'm hoping to have my next upgrade installed by then. What's the next upgrade???

BRAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you are upgrading your brake system all around or just the 6 piston brembos in the front ?
I had a V6 and the 4 piston was such a big upgrade. Can you put up some pics of what when you install those massive brakes ?

I can't wait to see those suckers in action.

From all the research I was able to gather before I started purchasing everything, was that its not a must but highly recommended. So, I'll be upgrading mine to be safe. I got all the padts off ebay. The rear rotors were $149 total instead of $131 a piece. The pads came with the calipers and I got those for $1277. The front rotors are coming from the same seller I got the calipers from. OEM ZL1 rotors for $600 shipped.

That's a lot of stopping power. You'll need an 80mm tb, tune, ported and matched intake, jacfab intake spacer to add to your track fun.
