They're little clip on deflectors that actually divert air onto the windscreen rather than somewhere near it.

Found them at EBI 2011. Not exactly a hardcore cal look part, but they seem to do a neat job when the weather turns.

Thanks for the infos, that's really impressive. And I love the stock look of the body Smiley

How is the red/yellow Koni combo feeling compared to 4 reds all around?

Works good for me (but the rear shocks are older), planning to upgrade the torsion bars to 27mm soon and adjust the sway bar a little bit harder, the modified z-bar is now preloaded, but will later be adjustet for negativ preload.
Car sits very flat and controlled in fast corners and brakes so good that it hurts my face.  Grin
1 finger steering is enough when going 180+ km/t.
