Aside from the Z-Brakes and bracing I made in late May, I went ahead and addresses some other things on my list. Pics are crappy and I didn't take any of the finished project but I made some fender braces for her.
I had flurry of ideas come to mind but this ended up being the most "efficient" method in regards to effectiveness and time. I contemplated making your traditional triangle shaped pieces but decided against making such a large piece given I specifically wanted it to be a "weld on" unit. After pitching Bryan's fender brace idea to him, I thought about doing it to Whitey but also decided against that due to having to redo a BUNCH of wiring. Annnd I didn't really feel like doing that in the middle of the season lol.
I don't have pics yet but the bars were painted the traditional Metcalf Coyote Satin Purple :-). The rest of the night was dedicated to drunken painting and drinking with fun bros. Here's me telling a story or something I dunno..
And Julien, AKA Island Trouble
Louis, AKA BigBelch
And Jeremy, AKA WHATCHUSAYBOUTMYMOMMA?!
Also drunken garage floor chalk portraits...
The next day I decided to give her a bath, she be durty n shit yo.
Overall the combined bracing of the fender, trunk, and rear bumper have made a great impact. Soooo stable through turns, as well as giving you a neck ache every time you drive it lol. Very pleased with the fender braces, simply design yield great results. Taking order now ;-).

I'm obsessed with this car...
Ahh the Gun Sports 13, I first saw this car maybe 5 years ago? Back in high school I would skip class and to the library to watch MSC videos and save pics on my flashdrive <---GEEK lol. This car has came a long way since then, popping up on numerous sites and magazines the owner has really taken his 13 to a different level. Although you can see in older pics he's always had a GT Styling bug :-). Perhaps we could say he's been a pioneer in that field.
Here's a couple I dug up off my PC, old pics of the car. Stock body, with center mounted wing and canards; I believe here is where he started dipping his feet into GT Styling :-).
