Melting Slicks
I really like that mod. I'm thinking of scrounging up a whole bunch (3 per side) of those little fans and making a home brew setup. it should help pull the heat out during idle and hopefully cool the beast down a bit without messing with the front cooling stack. with the big rads, the stock fans are not quite up to snuff pulling the air through at idle with the AC on. this mod looks GREAT!! nice spoiler too, I like it.
Not only does it keep air flowing, it looks cool too.

Tommy, the grills are nothing but a pattern I designed then cut out with a dremel tool. The screen itself is nothing but screen mesh epoxied to the plastic wheel well cover from the inside. The questions I always get asked are as follows:
Do you get water in the engine compartment when driving? ANS; No the pressure from the air flowing through the radiator flows outwards when driving.
Was it hard to do? ANS; No, and the beauti is you can design your own shapes into the plastic.
When the engine is off (car Parked) you can really feel the heat coming from the front tire wells. This has worked great for me for years, I installed (modified) the wells about 3 years ago and have not had any problems with the modification.
Hope this helps.

What can I say Ron? I couldn't let this baby sit for sale any longer! She has only 24K miles on her, and the interior is like brand new. The paint needs a polish, but other than that it is mint. The engine is clean as a whistle, and performs flawlessly. It has polished a-molds, brand new BFG Z rated rubber on the front and brand new BFG drag radials out in the back! New GS calipers with eradispeed rotors all around, stainless braided lines. Brand new pumpkin with 4:10s, brand new tranny too. Hurst shifter, both tops, and key is on power all the time! The cams are the LPE cams, and they make great power. As you know, this is Aaron's first stroker and it pulls like a race horse. It has the B+B exhaust with x-pipe, and it is noisy as hell inside the cabin. I am debating putting the Corsa on it. I'll leave it alone for now I think. She's a keeper! As far as I'm concerned it is worth every penny I paid. Some offered George 3-5K less than his asking, but he refused to budge having put all that money into it to get it ready for sale. It isn't the fastest stroker around, but it is put together nicely and runs flawlessly. I'm pleased with it.
Having been for a ride it may not be the fastest but it drove great and like you said pulled like a race horse.
