David (djflyer) took these photos recently and asked me to post them.

Thanks for posting these AFTER I finished mine. I'd have gone crazy. Not that I'm not already

I understand David only just took these pictures last weekend at Long Beach.

I know. I was just making the joke that those would have driven me crazy adding details not to be seen

Ismael,
  I'd have complete confidence in you to model every hose, wire, clamp, line, etc. Of course you'd be at it for years on end. But look at the bright side of it, no decaling, except the one on the sill plate.

I'm curious about the panel in Photo #5 with all the diffuser vanes. Where did that reside on the GT? It would be a great piece to add!

If this is the photo in question it would be the air diffuser under the rear of the car.

Looking at the diffuser, I can only assume that through the course of a race that it took quite a beating when the car hit a bump, as well as under acceleration. I wonder why they didn't make those vanes a lot beefier.

Beefier? Carbon Fiber is stronger than Steel and only 1/4 the weight!!!

Chris,
In the 1st picture with the diffuser on it's face pointing down, the inner vanes are metal, not CF, or so it looks.
