APR Splitter + aero upgrades?
 
Just bought the APR splitter for my car I was wondering if anybody had suggestion to further improve the aero-dynamics for my car. I don't necessary track my car very much only a couple HPDE events a year.

JDM underbody pannels, sti kit are both "proven" to help, though the average driver won't gain anything from them. Any real diffuser to kill the rear bumper's parachute effect should also help.

A real rear diffuser setup would definitely be a good aero idea. Get rid of the lift in the rear and actually add a little downforce with very low drag penalty compared to a spoiler or wing. I'm starting to go that route but it will be a little while - need to rework the exhaust to center exit and tucked up higher, come up with a proper mounting system that allows for easy removal for car maintenance, figure out how I want to do the reverse light, and actually make the diffusor...

An APR wing.

We'd love to have an opportunity to at least quote you on an item.

Depending on your exhaust, a diffuser would be epic sexy (and fucntional). I opted to go with a Voltex Type 2 side mount.

Still uninstalled. It's a complete bith to find reasonably priced theft deterrent bolts and washers. Found a great local company that sells to municipalities all over the US and Canada. Unfortuantely the locking j=keys codt $50 ea, and minimum order of them is 100 @ $5/ea. Way expensive, but they have t make a custom mold for eac clint's key and bolts.

Currently trying t figure out a most cost effective to not have my $2000 wing stolen.

Any good suggestions? The bolts are M6-20

I had the password JDM canards, not sure if they're a help, went for the track look but the car has barely seen track time.
