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.

they came stock on my '08 so they should be legal on any GTC4 car

The Gurney Lip is definitely legal in GTC4.
Also, it is required for IMSA Challenge.
