Or get the current SVT finned rear cover. It moves the breather to the top of the diff housing, and the axle tube location gets plugged.

The mod bug strikes again! I'm going to put myself into the poor house with this car. Got one of these bad boys on order. Here's to hoping I don't run into any speed bumps or parking barriers!

That's what I was thinking when I was originally looking at it a few weeks ago, but it doesn't look like it lowers the front lip by more than a 1/4", and if snow does accumulate there, it's only blocking the lower grill. How much of the radiator's cooling actually occurs from the lower grill?
We shall see once it arrives. When I test fit the lip for the first time, I'm going to make the call as to whether or not I want to wait until spring to put it on.

It's up in the air right now as I'm trying to get to the track this weekend (you should go too!) and I have a photoshoot to do but it's not scheduled yet. I'd say this is likely not happening this weekend.

Weird...Accuweather says showers Fri, but only 25% chance of precipitation on Sat, and 11% Sun...

I'll probably head down to the LMMC-CT Fall Cruise on Sunday then. In the mood to cruise one last time this season.
And I think a cool weather track day would just be frustrating with my current tires, and if by some miracle I did hook, it'd be one run before I got the "vert under 13.5 without a roll cage" boot.
