TL/CL kit complete ... 130mph + speed test

Just pick up my baby, went for 130mph+ (for law enforcements, I meant 130kmph+) on the George Bush tollway (my own version of the wind tunnel testing), damn this CL seems more stable & tighter than before... it hugs the damn ground ... Its feels to hug the road as much as my MR2 on high speed.

Nothing shakes on the ground effects at triple digits ...

I'll be taking tons of pics this weekend, provided that it's doesn't thunderstorm as predicted this weekend.

IMO, the result of the kit turned out awesome :P

Damn Charles, you shoulda let me know, I would have come out. I basically live on the tollway, and George Bush is less than 2 mins away.

Let a brotha know next time!

Good job on the install.

If it wasn't for the pissy predicted weather for this weekend, I'd be out Zainoing right now!

So you think the air dam helps reduce front end lift ??

Well, I almost majored in mechanical engineering but decided to change major to CS, so I am not an expert, but I do know that if U lower the center gravity of the car (springs), and allow less air to flow under the car & more air to flow over the car (an efficient front spoiler can achieve this), U will create less lift... Just a generalization of aerodynamics.

That's why race cars has front spoiler & their cars sit about 2" off the ground.

Check out his album page link. They are up. That is the BEST kit that I have seen on a CL. That looks sweet.
