Knock off vortex generators

Are these things really as good quality as claimed? Did anyone ever do a side by side comparrison between an aftermarket and oem unit?


Looking to buy OEM Generator.

Thank you captain obvious . That is my question exactly, how is the quality and fitment. If something doesn't fit well, the quality sucks, no?

Get the right VG for your roof. The OEM is for the Aluminum roof. Rexspeed is for steel roof.

Bzzz...try again. The OEM ones are exactly the same for both roofs. I purchased one from Mitsu then returned it, bought and had painted one from SpeedElement. Fitment is perfect....highly recommend

I just recieved my vg and gf from Rexspeed, I have not installed them yet, but they look fantastic. I don't think it will matter if you have a steel or aluminium roof when they are attached with 2-sided tape.

Rexspeed has always put out great products for amazing prices. Look him up.

Do you have an EVO? Or just an Sti?

I got one made of ABS plastic. Fits pretty well and costs about 1/3 the price. If you have a TB Evo, it will match the paint.
