PMNA has the wicker bill - it is a small carbon one with adhesive.

You can have most carbon shops make these very quickly for $75. I would not go over 0.4" though.

I can't remember the exact price but I remember being surprised by how cheap it was. I would just buy the PMNA part.

It comes with an adhesive that works well.

Most people also put a piece of helicopter (bug shield) tape over the leading edge.

If your next even is VIR, I can show you there.

Thanks Pat..I'll be at VIR. Just checking PMNA on a price for that thing now. Might be a trip to Home Depot though!

I would imagine the rules aren't entirely dissimilar between 3 and 4.

The Gurney Lip is definitely legal in GTC4.

Also, it is required for IMSA Challenge.
