Stock for Stock : 6GC > 7GC : Not much of being biased... I own both.
With the addition of lips and such. Its hard to say. 6GC = 7GC Between yours and your brothers.... You > Him.. It depends also.. when we get clearer pics of the 7GC |

I like your kit alot, but at the bottom it gets too rough. If it stayed smooth itd be a nice kit. Very nice kit and paint though.

my constructive criticism :
1.) lose the very bottom carbon fiber diffuser on the front bumper 2.) downsize the aluminum wing - maybe a TRD in its place? 3.) take off the stickers down the edge of the windshield .... then i'll b in love ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

I love the way the bumper is molded to the fenders. please don't cut it! 10-15 minutes really isn't all that long to remove the front end! it took me a lot longer than that to remove my front bumper and fenders when I put my VIS fenders on! took me a couple hours just to get those bolts holding the fender and bumper together off!

u mean to tell me that your entire spoiler is made of carbon fiber?
i believe the carbon fiber piece that makes up the body of the spoiler is supported and attached to your hatch by something metal - most likely aluminum ... thus - aluminum wing ... thats all i meant maybe you could cut it's height down a bit - i dont think you need all that massive downforce in the rear ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

hmm..point well taken.
well i have been considering lowering it quite a bit, bu dont know how to yet. ive actually been lookin for some type of drag wing, but havent been able to find one made of carbon fiber that would fit the car.. ive been looking for something like this. ![]() oh, n btw, all that downforce is needed when you have a whopping 100hp tossing you around!!
