Any pictures of the Greddy FL5?

If you don’t mind the English dubbed in voice then vid is excellent in showing what is going on with the HRC concept car.
I really like the front bumper to fender integration and was surprised to see how wide the fenders actually are when viewed from the backside.

From a facebook post it seems Voltex will not be putting this hood into production 🙁

I’m glad someone said it. That shit looks absolutely unfuckable
Yea this thing looks like a bad Alibaba/Ebay special lol. which is wild cuz so many of the Alibabe/Ebay hoods look better than this.

Personally out of all the aftermarket JDM hoods available so far, First Molding and J's Racing are my favorites.

Also just read the Voltex lip will be made of polyurethane so in theory it should be more durable and able to withstand some impacts without breaking.

I definitely wanted to see the hood go into production. I wouldn’t have bought it but am definitely interested in seeing if more louvres equal more cooling.

If I was to get a hood right now it would definitely be the First Molding

Does anyone have any close-up photos of the TCR rear wing designed by J.A.S as it is delivered to HRC (unmodified)? Ex. Paint matched, hardware changed out, etc. Curious about opinions regarding it. Yes, I know the photo in the link belongs to WOT, who is a member of the forum. I have already spoken to him regarding the wing. However, I am curious about others' opinions on it. It is a lot of money, and curious about others' thoughts about the quality, craftsmanship, and materials used. Seems to be a lot of coin for something made out of aluminum. But I have no idea of the types of aluminum, etc. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Not a very popular wing around these parts, but it is built to OEM standards, so there's no doubt it will work and is built exceptionally well. My issue with it is the overall look, something about it clashes with the FL5 body making it look out of place if the rest of the car doesn't have aggressive aero additions.

Question, what other aero additions do you plan on doing in conjunction with this wing? This wing creates an aero imbalance if other aero compoonenets aren't added.

The GReddy carbon fiber lip on this car is intriguing. I can't seem to find anything in the catalogs or online. I sent a note to them inquiring, we'll see if they respond.
