Front Air Splitter

To those more knowledgeable... is this completely functional? Could it be designed better or just fine as is?

It's APR, lots of real world racing teams (most I've seen is from time attack) use their stuff. Look them up on facebook, they're always posting pics of teams who use their stuff while in competition and all that. Hope that helps you decide if it is functional... I would say yes.

Id like to know more about this and its effectiveness also. I think its looks good but don't have much of an interest in adding it just for looks.

Didn't know we had a problem with grip or lightness with the FT86 in the front, if anything the back end is light. Don't know if I would mess with the Aero unless its a balanced approach with the rear and front, this looks more cosmetic than anything.

Apr doesn't normally Do cosmetic.... APC on the other hand, normally for looks. Apr is an extremely reputable racing group

from pekingduck's thread, just to show better how it looks when its installed... thought someone had said they thought it didn't look functional because it didn't stick out far enough, maybe I misread.
