Body Kits / Aero Parts

^ I was about to say the same thing.

I'm thinking more about the TRD Kit.. although not sure about the rear as I don't wish to change the exhaust. The one I drove sounded pretty great and it was stock. So maybe the trd kit with the 5AD rear lip and the 5AD spoiler.. Really need to see what it looks like in Silver....lol

You could probably alter it though or just integrate an LED strip into the indent it does have. The headlights are pretty sweet though.

The main things are the the little air vent gaps in line with the LEDs and those amazing headlights. The back is a whole different story, I will kill to get something like this. The whole car looks meaner and slicker...

rocket bunny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the fenders make the kit... seriously.

I do not know how much of an effect it REALLY has on this car, especially with nothing but the integrated mild trunk spoiler but maybe with a larger airfoil in the right position it is quite functional. I am sure an aerodynamics expert could correct me, but this is my understanding of how they work.

Those don't look like vortex generators to me...
Sticking vortex generators on a car is a tricky matter, you can't just compare it to airplane wings.

There is no question that they are vortex generators, whether or not they are functional is an entirely different matter.

Let's make sure we're on the same page.

These? Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I fail to see how these would create desirable vortices.

It's pretty tricky on an airplane wing as well.

Once again, no one made claims that they were functional. I believe they are a bit of a gimmick myself as previously implied.

I don't see how they'd create vortices at all though...there should be relatively large vortices coming off the C pillars, and it seems those "stabilizers" are oriented with the flow.

They would generate a vortex that would keep the air from separating as rapidly from the C pillar. Because the separation is delayed they would in theory, direct more air to a specific area of the car, like a down force generating wing/spoiler. The real question would be, do these parts actually work in this application in that location? Seeing as the vehicle has no rear wing, I am going to say they are probably gimmick, for the third time now? I guess what we are wondering is what point are you trying to make? No one is arguing effectiveness.

I am wondering how they create vortices at all, that's my point. Excuse my probably incorrect terminology, but they don't look like they would create any pressure gradients that would create vortices.

Yep and don't forget the hood-line
