Get the 15, from GMG

I woudnt mess with bolt on aftermarket dive planes......if you do get the big ones
That's a great find. Thanks for posting. Much better option purchasing something that is premade to fit with the bend.

If I get the planes, I'll get the large ones. They're probably only functional in the larger size.

Randy likes sneak his stuff in under the radar. If he gets caught he just says its a TSB or its for better tire wear.

I'm still shocked he came clean in that one thread. I think he knew he was going to be outed to he took a preemptive strike

Cup lip and dive planes will overwhelm stock spoiler even with gurney. Get the Cup lip and be done with it, or at most add fender lips.

Note the size of the Cup rear wing used to balance the Cup lip with no dive planes.....

Nizer is correct....

You'll unbalance the aero with the Cup lip and then adding dive planes.....front will stick better and losen the rear end. You don't need a loser rear end Dr. Spinalot

Personally all joking aside I would not touch the aero on the car. If you add more front downforce you also need to pay attention to the rear. Also keep in mind that aero bits and suspension on race cars are a total package.

Spend you hundreds of dollars for cool looking aero bits on a good coach at Sebring like Chris Hall.

Cool bobbles on the car are fun to look at. Maybe I'll throw a cup wing on too

Mike and Randy are quick to help spend other people's money

I like the idea of a cup wing. Uber bling w downforce.

Like I told you, go with something that is already proven. Cup wing with cup lip.

This is more like DeptuyDog's style...I know how he wants to roll. It's even the correct color!
