Kev The Baker 'Air Wings' can also help keep the cold out... I've used them for 92,000+ miles.
Yah I was admiring them on yours last week before I decided to try a pair and yes they do reduce the side arm airflow as well when closed so yah I never thought about that but that will keep things a little warmer in cold days eh
I picked up the Snailax brand of seat cushions and found the same. At first turn on......nice cool breeze across the butt and back. After the cockpit heats up, it moved warm air. Definitely better than without but, not what I was hoping for.
The cure:
My wife and I have a spritz bottle with water. Just spray down the back of your shirt and see the difference. Evaporative cooling!
It also helps to get under the dash and seal the openings to the engine compartment. I haven't done it yet, but there's at least one thread or post on doing it.

I have a thread somewhere on here about using the 30,s to 40,s old car windshield rubber molding

I sealed up everything on the firewall. Perhaps it does help but, I really can't notice much.
I already put a scoop with a floor vent under the front fender. That was a huge improvement for the feet and legs. I just ordered a different kind of vent to mount on each body side near the seat recline lever. That will allow some fresher air around where those Snailax covers have the fans. Unfortunately, the vent covers I chose are a long delivery time (mid Oct), and that was Amazon.
Also on the hunt for some nice looking, quality, insulated tunnel covers.
Installed my brackets for the wing. Got the wing installed. Installed the pedal commander, and it works as advertised.
. Got my front lights hooked up. and got my fender in just have to paint it and re-drill one mounting hole, since the DDM lowering springs were put on the top mounting bolt needs to be relocated, shouldn't be a big issue. also had brackets made for the fender. I know I am beating a dead horse here, but again the people on this forum are greatttttt. much thanks to MACAWS , wokka , and EjFord . These guys helped out ALOTTT with there knowledge and support and parts. Again THANKSSSS
When riding the twisties, 'powers' much smarter than me suggest that the peddle commander be turned "OFF". You want to have control NOT the computer.
Front Splitter and Winglets
Installed my abs splitter with winglets. 1/2" abs. Painted with Rustoleum Glossy Apple Red that is a close match to 2015 SL red. Running lights were put on in 2015. They are led from Amazon.

Thank you for sharing the color you used, looks fantastic. Going to pick up again today.
I have used that same color before on my belt guard, rear fender and rear wing.
Installed these today, not sure if I will like them. Had to do some bending to get them to fit and still not fitting to good, may have to tweak some more if they don't fly off lol

That is some nice painting, what wing are you running or the mounts used in holding it on?
I’ve been needing a new rear tire, i’m down to the wear bars. One of my Sling Group buddy had a guy stop him and asked him if he wanted some tires for His Slingshot he said no but he would ask the people in the group. He gave me the guys number I text him and after some haggling we came to a price of 200 bucks for the set. They’re supposed to be off a 2018 SLR. When I got there to check them out I was surprised these tires are like brand new Even still have the name with arrows on the center thread, score!

Not saying they didn't come off an slr but originally those are base model wheels. 17" front 18" rear. Still at $200 a killer deal regardless of where they came from. Good find
Sweet deal

That is a good deal, wish I could find deals like that. Those are base model tires I am running the rear 18'' all around on mine and have the fronts put up, not really needing them. been on the look out for some black rear wheels to run all around.
Trooper, I have one 2019 base rear wheel you are welcome to, my stock wheels were black, I can bring it with me to the AR ride, assuming you have a way to get it home or willing to stick in your passenger seat. It has the stock tire with about 2500 miles on it.

Yes sir I will take it, Thanks
I bought this Mustang wheel (https://www.americanmuscle.com…x105-rear-only-28344.html) which I fell looks pretty close to the stock Base wheels which have 8 pairs of twin spokes compared to the 7 on this wheel. I think if I got all three wheels painted/powder-coated to match each other they'd be close enough. When I bought that wheel in Black with a shiny trim along the outer edge, I paid $150 and have seen it on sale for as low as $100. It's currently $125. I run a 315/35ZR17 tire on it that is almost the same diameter as the stock 18" rear wheel. The wheel does have one drawback in that it's only 28mm Offset, placing the rear right edge of the wheel in the same location as the stock wheel, but the wider wheel center around 1.5" to the left of stock center. I've placed around 12K miles on that wheel/tire combo and have never experienced any handling problems. American Muscle offers the wheel in a 17x9 size with a 30mm Offset for the fronts that will place the ire around 5/8" farther out compared to the stock wheels. Since the wheels were originally designed for the Mustang, they also need 66.1mm inner diameter to 70.3mm outer diameter hub ring adapters to properly fit the wheel to the Slingshot's hub rings.
Today's Mod was an Un-Mod - - - on my ride to work this morning all of the adhesive backed clips and the mount holding my pedal commander and its cable in place decided to fail. the cable fell down around the gas pedal and my foot so when I got here I had to unplug the commander and I threw it in the cubby behind the driver seat. - - when I installed the commander I cleaned all of the locations where I would mount things very well with alcohol but it didn't matter the extreme heat was just to much.
Anyway I will be riding home with out the commander this afternoon and who knows I might just leave it off - - - - if this had happened out on a twisty road or in traffic the way the cable came down around my foot and the gas it could have been a real problem
as a side note my fear of the heat is why I haven't mounted any of the cosmetic stick on trim things that Slingmods sells - - - this just confirms my suspicion that the heat is too much - - heck I keep my garage door opener on a Velcro on the side of the steering column and it has come unglued twice before
Oh well
