rowen, you'd be surprised how a small thing can make a large noise, I won't explain the aerodynamics now, but small things make huge differences.
ski rack for instance, a rack alone (just cross bars) with no fairing sounds like the end of the world is coming, its crazy.
Yes I am on NASIOC, i'm on there more than I'm since I got my car.
I've been following along with that 22B kit for a while too, they've been working on it for a few years. Its SOOO fucking nice, little pricey though. If I got it, I would paint it. Yeah, carbon fiber is sexy, but I wouldn't want my body to be it.
The thing is too, the front is just bolt on - just the fenders. Bumper is bolt on, both front and back. But the rear quarter panels are scary, cause you have to cut in to your C-pillar and mold it in to that. It'd have to be done by someone that is an expert with autobody.
I think I' just go with fiberglass too, its cheaper! hahaha.
But MAN, you could get SUCH god damn fat tires!!! The 22B is by FAR the single most beautiful car ever built!!!
