You're probably going to think I'm crazy... but I actually think it looks good. Much better than the last one from the last few years. << Edited on Thursday, February 19, 2015 at 8:35pm EST. >> |

I love the honda kit, I think it looks great, it's a forward thinking design, and it's attempting to be something. It screams fast, and lots of downforce! |

Looks like the advantage goes to Chevy in the first round with the new Aerokits scoring the win and top 6 & a 9th out of the top 10. Was surprised officials didn't throw more cautions especially near the end with all the pieces flying off of Will Powers car. I know if it was run by Nascar officials the cautions would have flew most of the race.. |

They didn't drive like that with the old kits, it was like they wanted to shred them. I think they weren't used to the closing rates the new kits provided with the new downforce. Dumb move by power, could have waited longer, forced the issue more with Montoya.. I think part of it is honda, part of it is quality of driver. RHR was still up there. He's the best they have. Honda was pretty good on the straights too. |

I think the issue is way too many winglets with the Honda kits. I think if they would have went with a more simple approach like chevy did they might have had more cars in the top 10 and possibly even top 5. |
