Fran -
I like it! I particularly like the subtle air vents below the rear window and the understated spoiler. A few questions - it appears this clip eliminates the need for the aluminum diffuser? If that's the case can it still be hinged? Does this clip still use the same taillight assembly? Dual exhaust pipes exit through the rear on either side of the center raised section?
Thanks,
Dave L

Dave,
pic #3 shows a small round indent on the lower edge of the diffuser ...that is the hinge point....full 90 deg tilt is easily attainable
The taillights are the same ones and they mount in from the rear with a separate bezel trim ring....very simple and easy...
The area around the rear ducts is actually 6" taller than the track/original tail giving much more room for the street mufflers and air box system....

I'll give you a call - thanks Fran.
Looks great Fran.
Perhaps room for even an intercooler?

That's a dodgy neighbourhood you love in
Park a car outside and some sod steals all the wheels!
Jokes aside that is absolutely stunning. I liked the "original" but think you have outdone yourself this time

of course it is its wendsleydale?
Looks good - just like a production exotic car's rear-end.
What type of manly man doesn't like a 2foot appendage dangling out the back of their car with a super wide spoiler bolted to it?? That's like not liking money!!!!!
I smile everytime I see mine :drunk:

old macdonald had a farm eieiowwwww... and on that farm he had a wing...eieiowwwww... :lipsrsealed:
I'm thinking about it too. Can't be too hard to mount the airplane wing to it along with a functional rear diffuser on the bottom. I like the fact there is more room under the rear half. I'm still trying to figure out where I'll stick the intercooler. There is room under the boot now, but an IC that will fit is a little smaller than I'd like.
Fran, is it possible for you to post a few pics of what it looks like from within the engine compartment with the boot closed showing the clearance underneath?

Hello all,
I've been a lurker for a while. After seeing this post, I had to register.
That rear section makes the SL-C go from great to "just freakin' awesome"
After owning several Corvettes (not all at once) to even a 91' Diablo, I have been craving something different. I hope to some day soon pull the trigger on one of these kits. Great job Fran.

I love it!!! I think it balances better with the cockpit bubble. Makes the bubble look a bit smaller. Is there room in there now for GT40 style bundle of snakes exhaust?
Not only does this make for a more "streetable" and attractive design, maybe more importantly it represents a continued evolution and improvement on an already desirable platform.
In an arena which I find it hard to gather independent product review, this is the best evidence of a healthy product that I have seen to date. I'm in the market...can't wait to see it.
Where are all of the finished SL-C's ?
