APR Releases Brutal Splitter and Wing for Camaro ZL1

This Meguiar’s Camaro is sporting the latest front splitter for Camaro ZL1. The Camaro forums have been blowing up about this APR front splitter and rear Wing. Whether you track your car and need them for the performance aspects or you just like the look of the way they protrudes beyond the front and rear bumpers, APR’s splitter and Rear Wing are the best for both.

Although the front splitter gives your front end that brutal look, APR has spent decades perfecting the performance of their parts. They’re front splitter is designed to decrease front end lift and exert downforce. By creating a high pressure area on top of the wind splitter, high pressure air flow is restricted to flow underneath a car. With low pressure below the car, the effect of lift is reduced and a driver can gain from the extra traction and control.

The APR Performance Front Splitter plays an important role in helping a vehicle achieve aerodynamic balance. Just as there are significant forces acting upon the rear-end of a rear wing-equipped vehicle, there are also significant forces acting upon the front-end of a Splitter-equipped vehicle. That’s why APR’s front splitter and rear wing are the perfect package for your Camaro.

GT-R Producing 800 Wheel Horsepower

When our customer sent us these pictures of their GT-R, the apple red of the GT-R was appealing but that’s not what really caught our attention. It was the mod list filled with brands we know are offer the ultimate performance parts, that really made our jaw drop. The first name we saw was Wald. Wald International is know for taking the lines of a car and enhancing them with bold, aggressive carbon pieces. Case in point, the gnarly strakes on this wald diffuser. It makes it belligerent, but not so, that it destroys the desirable look of the GT-R.

APR is the next product we noticed. APR is known for their aero parts, but most of all, their wings. They provide a futuristic look, while still giving you some of the best aerodynamic advantages in the industry. He chose the APR Performance Adjustable GTC-500 Wing. When it comes to racing, every second counts. By reducing lift and increasing downforce, you can gain extra traction during high speed cornering. The other product he got to compliment his wing when it comes to cornering. The Eibach Pro-Kit is the perfect answer for most frequently-driven street cars. Eibach’s legendary springs dramatically improve both the GT-R’s performance and appearance, by making the car lower there for handling better.

The last two are two companies that we have worked with a lot in the past. You can see the name Meisterschaft and HRE riddle all throughout our Project Car Blogs, as well as on a lot of our Vivid Racing Videos. Meisterschaft makes all their exhaust with integrity. You can hear that integrity with every install. The valvetronic option allows you to open it up on the track, while not going deaf on your day-to-day drive. HRE is one of the most popular and well-known names in the game. They offer such versatility and quality with their products, that really any client can find something they like. This client chose the HRE P41′s , check out a video of these wheels here.

After that kind of all-star lineup this thing is pumpin’ out 800 wheel horsepower. We want to know if you would change the mod list or add anything? Tell us in the comment section below or on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.

Carbon Fiber Embelished FRS with Candy Teal Avant Garde Wheels

Although this color didn’t work out for our Red Ford Focus ST, but this color is fierce and we are pumped someone’s rockin’ it. Even better than the sexy candy teal wheels, is a woman who can mod a car. This she-tuner has a stellar FRS, with a mod list to be envied. She is our sales guy Arsha’s (arsha@vividracing.com, ext. 225), FRS customer. She’s been modding her car for a while and all the hard work is finally paying off.  Since her build has been done, she’s been featured by Avant Garde, Extreme Dimension and APR. She also took home the Best Female Ride at Battle of the Bay in August.

Here’s a look at the mods that are getting her so much attention. Not only does her engine pack a punch, but it looks great too! She outfitted her engine and transmission with,

• Agency Power Light Weight Crank Pulley
• Agency Power Short Ram Intake (Powder Coated Candy Teal)
• Agency Power Catback Exhaust
• Strut Tower Bars (Powder Coated in Candy Teal)

Once the internals were covered she had to invest some hard earned dinero into Brake, Wheel, Tire and Suspension upgrades. Because what’s a FRS if it’s not slammed? She’s setup with,

• APR Performance Carbon Fiber Brake Cooling Ducts
• Avant Garde M310 Wheels 18×8 +30 [front] 18×9 +30 [rear] (Powder Coated in Candy Teal)
• Agency Power Tuner Lugs in Black
• Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 Tires 225/40ZR18 [front] 255/40ZR18 [rear]
• Stance Super Sport Coilovers
• Stance Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms

The finishing touch to this brutal blue scion are the body upgrades she did. Although her car would have beckoned interest from any onlooker, the body pieces, really make her stand out.

• APR Performance Front Lip Kit
• APR Performance Side Skirts
• Carbon Creations GT Concepts Carbon Fiber Hood
• Carbon Creations Carbon Fiber Trunk
• B2 Designs Carbon Fiber Hood Struts
• Hella Supertone Horn Kit
• Seibon Carbon Fiber Fender Ducts
• TYC Collin Taillights-Smoked

Shoutout to Darryl Wilson Photography for the awesome shots!

New GT-250 Adjustable Wing from APR Performance

No matter what racing you do, you know that anything that can give you even the slightest edge on the competition can make all the difference. APR is an aero company we have worked with for a while. When they say their items will shave seconds of your track time, we’ve personally seen the difference. Not to mention, customer’s of ours have told us about the improvements their APR products have given them. Not long ago, we had a customer use APR on his Lotus. You can read the story here but, the aero products shaved seconds off his time. That’s the difference between a loss and a win. Here’s what APR had to say about their new GT-250 Adjustable Wing.

“APR Performance Adjustable Wings can give you that edge to achieve faster lap times. By reducing lift and increasing downforce, you can gain extra traction during high speed cornering. Although adjustable wings aren’t specifically a suspension component, they play a crucial role to the handling characteristics of a car. By adjusting the angle of attack on an adjustable wing, you can dial in the amount of downforce for better car control. This allows your car to have more or less over steer characteristics, giving you additional control to tune the rear traction of your car.”

Not only will your car look like an attack vehicle, it will perform like a trained assassin. Here are some scientific images that show how exactly the wing adjusts and helps with the function on the car.

The S2000 You don"t Want to Run into!!!

No matter how you feel about imports or “Ricer’s,” this is a car that any car enthusiast can appreciate. This S2000 owner has done a great job outfitting his Honda to be a modded out piece of machinery. A little more to this story is, this car is apparently best friends with the wicked EVO we introduced you to a while back. If you missed that EVO here’s the write up. Either way, you don’t want to miss these pictures and mod list, it’s one to envy. Our sales guy’s Arsha’s (arsha@vividracing.com ext.  225) helped this guy with his build and in return, he not only sent us pictures of his bad ass S2000, but he sent us a write up as well.  Here’s his write up and pictorial on this not so typical S2000. (Take note of the awesome decal shout out!)

“Remember a few weeks back we did the write up about the Evo X that Arsha has been helping with parts.. Well this is his best friend.

When looking at this car your first thought is Ricer, or stupid Honda owner. But this Guy is far from it. Every part has a purpose and nothing has been overlooked or skimped on. From the full motor build to the APR wing and Wasp Composite race splitter that may look ridiculous to most, but when you take into consideration that he tracks this Daily Driven 651 WHP monster you understand the purpose. Even though it looks mostly stock on the outer shell there is nothing stock about under the hood or suspension.

Now you don’t build a track car like this without knowing a thing or two. After seeing the racing resume, which includes a national road racing championship in shifter karts, that he has been around the block once or twice on the track. There is still much more to come for this viscous monster and we can’t wait to see the finished product.

Must give a huge shout out to Wasp Composite for all there help with this aero package. Some of the best guys out and make an awesome splitter. Keep a look out for there FRS/BRZ splitter coming soon. Go like them on facebook for all there new products coming soon.  Also LHT Performance for a great motor build that not only makes huge power and is reliable as hell. Check them out on facebook for all your Honda needs. Last but not least Induction performance for tunning the car. Hit them up for all your tuning needs no matter where or what it is, Alpha is the guy to contact.

Just another crazy build coming out of the small car club in Florida, called Darkside Empire.”
