Re: Rear Body Section for Gen3

I just cut my new tail last weekend (if you haven't seen why, you missed some jackassery on my part at CoTA #mybad). I recommend you go with the 2018 specs per the GCR. I considered leaving my tail uncut in back for this season as it's legal but it definitely contacted the muffler and my header/muffler is already further inboard than most. The 4" cut removed the portion that contacted the muffler plus now I know I'm legal for 2018 and beyond. At that point your only decision is how high to cut (I believe the range is 4"-8" but consult the GCR).
It's a pain to re-cut (heaven forbid fill in) the tail for next season. If you have a Gen2 tail with the scoop, I'd personally fill it in as it serves no function but to add drag to a Gen3... plus it won't be legal in 2018 as I read the rules.
