FJF, Thanks for that link! It was a very interesting and educational read. Just goes to show that every little bit helps!

As for using the Seibon CF one... the Mitsu engineers mentioned that the size and effectiveness of the VG's is broad, so I would imagine that any size deviance from OEM with the CF one wont really change the effectiveness. I would just be concerned that the shape and alignment of the VG's match.

How do you know it's the VGs? I put them on my car and there was absolutely ZERO performance difference, but they sure do look cool so they're staying. I like color matching VGs so I say go with stock.

You put a vortex generator on a TDI wagon?

I have no idea. I hand washed and waxed my car. As I finished the waxing, my thumb gently hit the agency power shorty antenna which promptly broke off the base totally and I then noticed my VG was cracked as well. So, I need to replace the antenna base and VG...So, I am going to just not replace the base and eliminate the antenna with the seibon CF VG....I was eliminating my deck, so this works out great!
