Look for the "kaukumei" vortex generator, thats the one I have and it fits perfectly. Its not real carbon fiber but it looks really good. It was only like a little over $100....

Actually, Vortex generator was not desinged for the wing. Just Having it itself creates lower drag coefficent due to the lessening the vaccum volume at the rear end. But the effect is so minimal.

I thought the entire purpose was to create a vortex at the back window to get higher airflow over the wing, and therefore more downforce.

As far as just having one for astetics, thats fine. I just perfer to be more functional

The c/f one I wanted is like $250!

How much would an OEM black one be? Where can I find them besides the dealer?

Why don't you guys just check out the guys on these forums like Bozz and derek888? They are both selling them. Derek888 is selling his painted for only 90 bucks shipped and his seem to be fitting correctly and alot of pple have bought from him. Or you can go with Evodaves carbon fiber ones which might take some messing with in order to fit correctly but he's got a write up on how to do it and it was only 200. I think i might go with bozz's VG because the other two are outta stock right now.
