Factory Vortex Generator Vs. Carbon Fiber Generator
Hey guys! I was looking to get a vortex generator and was planning to buy the seibon vortex generator. My question is, will it perform as good as the OEM one in terms of equal downforce? It the seibon generator the exact shape and size as the OEM one? Thanks guys! Im getting the Seibon Generator for 260 shipped, is this a good price?

I always thought the Vortex Generator looked crappy. In the world of aerodynamics, small variations of the surface will greatly affect the way it works.
Most of the aftermarket "aero" that is out there isn't functional. If you're doing it for looks, go for it!
I believe the Vortex Generator assists with the aerodynamics over the top of the car, to make the rear wing more effective. How much do you realistically need them? Beats me :shrug:
edit: added 'aftermarket' to aero

koo koo! but... I dont like holes on my CF too
