How about a trunk that already has a built in spoiler that looks more functional than the OEM one?
something like this




AFAIK, with the spoiler extension there is no drag penalty like the wings, well at least it works great with the new Camaro Z28s but then again it may be because it's designed for the car



how would you compare the wings to the duckbill trunks ?

Thanks again

If I still have the oversteer that is uncomfortable after adding those (splitter and diffuser), then maybe look at adding a wing. I personally like a car that has slight oversteer.

You should be skeptical of a lot of aftermarket parts. Many in fact do the opposite of what they claim.

A 3d wing profile is one where the profile changes down the cord length.
3D profile is below:

2D Profile is Below:


Spoilers work and work well. However, they won't create as much downforce as a wing(properly designed of course), but they usualy create less drag. Deciding between the two or any at all should be determined after you do the other mods and see how the car drives.

I will be having an analysis coming out soon on this splitter paired with the V1 diffuser from Driveway Labs. Hopefully soon after that, I can have one also with the V2 diffuser. This should help people have an idea about how their aero will effect the characteristics of the car.
