just ordered Vortex Generator for 169.99 brand new

Do you think I got a good deal? When they were 300 bucks at other places I thought someone was smoking crack.

Great deal, where did you get it from. So far the best I have seen is 199 shipped.

Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but I thought it was 169.99 but now its 167.99 its 2 bucks cheaper!
They charged me 15 bucks for standard UPS shipping to California. Not sure where they are located at. Here is the link.

WOW!! Is there not a vendor here doing a group buy for like $199???? This is an excellent deal! I have purchased stuff from http://www.mitsubishipartsstore.com before and they usually have pretty good prices and good service too.

I'm wondering why the aftermaket support isnt' there for the vortex generator.

it's such a simple thing to make and make it cheap. Or even make it in CF and sell it at $170 ~ $200.

I think I'll wait until the after market vortex generator comes out.

nope, its as easy as you heard. the instructions it comes with are straight forward

open trunk
carefully pull back weather stripping to roof (i think 5 clips on each side)
peel back double sided tape from center (you have to score the front one cause theres no break in the tape from the middle) an inch or so, so it sticks out from under.
line up both sides under weather stripping, double check.
push down tape in the center to secure
pull tape backing off all the way, rub down to assure contanct
put back on weather stripping to trunk
close trunk

takes 5 minutes
