    Rear Disc Simulators

    So I saw these disc simulators on Ebay for $10, and I thought, 'Hey, why not?" They are thin aluminium, and installed very easily. I think they look pretty nice. Just thought I'd let you guys decide for yourself. They come in many colors.

    I had never heard of these. Thanks for posting it.

    I'm digging those tires.

    I have seen those before. But the rear drums on these cars are so small that I never saw the need for them!

    Ha! I've never seen those before.

    Now you just need simulated calipers! It looks like they're missing!

    The calipers are a 'hidden' feature.

    I guess it will improve aerodynamics too (but only minimal)
