Anyone? I'd have to disagree, but if that is true, I'm sure my boss would love to talk to you. Right now we spend a lot on tunnel testing and CFD to gain downforce.

If you hadn't pointed it out, I would still be thinking it had a hood scoop.

Wow, thank you so much for this thread. After watching my college team get slaughtered today, I needed a good chuckle. And a belly laugh.

When I got my car my wife and I stopped at Walmart to pick up some license plate frames for it. While I was looking at the frames she found the display of stick on LED strips showing them glowing under the car. She told me she wanted some for her Outlander Sport. I laughed at the joke. She got mad because she wasn't joking. Apparently she has some ricer blood in her.

A wide-body kit does not leap off of a shelf and install itself. I'm going with some owners are ruining their cars. Too each his own as always, but some of this stuff is ugly as hell.
