Looks great! Do you have a before and after pic of the car? I'd like to see the car with and without the kit.

The reason you couldn't see a significant change cuz it's the same ratio as the regular wing with the regular rear clam. Now that the rear is wider, so does the wing (relatively)..

beautiful.

I love it! I see a Lotus trim level in the future...maybe the SC Elise?

Systemz · 06-23-2008, 09:41 AM

Very subtle difference, well done in my opinion. looks incredible.

Bgwilly31 · 07-12-2008, 02:41 PM

The factory wing is flimsy as it is.

I would worry about your extended wing flapping around like a bird back there.

Have you driven around at higher speeds yet 70+mph and taken a look at your wing?

looks like a very professional job. im sure the pictures do not really do it justice.

pkhot915 · 07-13-2008, 04:28 AM

Bgwilly,
I was concerned about the flappy wing too. It wobbles a bit while driving thru the rough roads of BKK, but at high speed....na da...nothing bro, very stable. The bumps flaps the wing, the speed stabilizes it....weird huh....

I'm actually not very fond of the look, but IMHO Lotus' are one of the few cars where an aftermarket LSD actually makes a lot of sense given the difficulty/awkwardness in entering and exit. I just took a look at the KW catelog, and while its an older version and doesn't show applications for Lotus' the engineering and precision that goes into their kits are very impressive! I would seriously consider getting an LSD kit for a car in Hong Kong given the parking issues here....for a car in the U.S. I think it would be more for show than for practicality.

LSD for parking?

knucklehead · 07-13-2008, 01:22 PM

My guess

- Lambo Scissor Doors = LSD

yeah, sorry for any confusion..."Lambo Scissor Doors" or "Lambo-Style Doors" which is how KW refers to them in their brochure.

If anyone is interested in this kit we need a group buy of five to bring the shipping down to a reasonable cost. Please PM me or post in this thread
New CF parts on the horizon

So that's where the mohawk went! Hey, you've got to consider letting me make you an orange carbon/Kevlar chin spoiler for that car!

The body kit looks great by the way, very nice design.

BertPervert · 08-18-2008, 11:08 AM

Did you guys check out the gt3 widebody on the other thread? It looks pretty cool as well. I like the orange and black theme well done.

My Elise GT3

This is worth checking out, just like your car!
