i dont know the exact name for this, but does anybody make this for our cars? thinking of buying a GT wing but dont want canards on the car... need something a bit more subtle.. the GT wing i`m buying is also pretty small (Varis hyper narrow).

not a vortex generator. looks like it's just a wind spat designed in front of the wheel well to help deflect air away from the wide track, instead of the wind just ramming into the tire itself.
[edit] the name itself says DEFLECTOR. lol

Yea those are just to improve the profile of the car and deflect wind differently when tires stick out a bit out of the wheel wells. I have also wanted something similar but I don't think there are any such products available.

We would call that a front tire "kicker", when I was at Riley. You'll see something like that on most of Bob's sports car designs, if the rules allowed.
