Did you feel is the extra downforce?

Thanks for the kind words about our wing riser & dive plane.

For the dive plane, we do recognize the need for no-hole installation (we also didn't drill holes on the bumper for our own GT4 RS), that's why we offered two different methods since some of our clients & for our race cars, drilling holes offers extra rigidity which is important, but agree what you said, even with the 3M tape, they are rock solid even for track race.

He seems to like it. The front parts add about 21-24 pounds of downforce (17%), while the back wing risers add about 25 pounds of estimated downforce from others CFD work. So about 50 pounds total. The risers look totally OEM.

I think you would get even more traction with sales if you could make them without holes or indentations and have the correct 3M tape already on the back of the parts. This way they would be ready to install with a cleaner look. Rennlisters will like that.

Thanks @lovetoturn , that's a very solid suggestion, would definitely work the engineering team on it.

While we are at it, I suspect you guys could make a motorsport quality gurney for the rear wings of both the GT4 and the GT4 RS. It is amazing that after 3+ years on the market no one has done that yet. Pairing that with the front upgrades would allow others to keep the standard height wing should they so chose.

That's exactly what we are doing now. We already finished the prototyping and test production, if you hop on to our site, you can see the full range of aero parts we are developing besides the dive plane & wing risers. We have about 5-6 new developments coming out around September, super psyched about it.

Right now we are shipping directly from our warehouse in Shanghai, China. We are actually working on having a warehouse here in the US to move some of our inventory here after we finish the production of our Clubsport Wing and gurney flap with the existing dive planes, wing risers and seat adjusters, which would allow us to ship domestically probably around October.
