I'll be honest, with a "mods" list and even more mods listed to come, I don't get the vibe that you have much track experience. My apologies if you do, but if you do not, then the aero is the least of your worries.

I just finished a weekend at the track and the vast majority of the weekend warriors that have cars *faster* than a BRZ choose not to use much of the "faster", as it results in very large budgets for consumables, and very expensive repair bills when things go wrong.

As for aero, what handling problem are you trying to address? Lower drag for higher top speed or more grip at a certain end of the car? Often, those are totally different objectives, and adding functional aero for downforce will quite likely make the car slower in a straight line.

Have you given any real thought to safety? (like the gross imcompatibility between a Schroth rally 3 and a Hans - one is a toy, and the other not so much)
