They *should* create vortices along the side of the car. You might think this is worse than "smooth" air, but the air along the side of the car isn't smooth anyway because of the wheel wells. So the air being "stuck" in a vortex keeps it from going into the wheel well as much (or being disturbed by the side of the car in general). The effect in some cases is more down force (or less lift) because of less air getting under the car or in the wheel wells, but ALSO less drag! No downsides.

Anyone install these on their 6.2 gt3? Thinking of getting some installed. I currently have the stock wing w/ 8 degree shims. Not expecting a big change, but wanted to see what others have noticed.
