Spoiler At Top of Window/Roof

Is it only Lorinser that makes these? If so, does evosport have them?

I'm also thinking of putting on spacers on the rear (for the wider look), but not too wide where my rear bumper will get sandblasted. I heard that spacers affect the ride, is that true?

Maybe an underdrive pulley as well for the 13hp.

Lorinser and Expression are the only ones (I know of) that make them. I prefer the Lorinser of the two. Of course we carry them! Anything you see on my car, we carry .

Spacers will only affect the ride by increasing the wheel base (providing you get H&R spacers). Other spacers can screw up the ride due to lack of hubcentricity. What wheels do you have? On stock AMG's, spacers also look really nice in the front.

Underdrive pulleys are great! Easy 13hp with no risk to the engine. The gains are proven, which makes it a guaranteed alternative to an ECU upgrade (which does risk the engine).

Thanks,
Ben

I have 15mm spacers with 18x8.5 LM5's and 265 S-03 tires. I recently changed to 12mm spacers because the S-03 tirtes are too wide and caused a rub. This did not happen with T1-S tires pf the same size. Looks great from behind. No ride quality problems.
