Are the MR vortex generators removable?
Thinking about taking these off the MR - going with the ralliart or kaminari small wing so these will look out of place and won't be funcrional - on a WW will it just leave a black stip?

Does the ralliart wing actually do anything as far as downforce? You might be better off just having no wing, even less weight. Unless you are going for looks of course?

Ya - mainly looks, don't want to exchange trunk lids or patch/paint the holes so might as well cover it w/ a small spoiler.

So if i remove the vortex geberators on the mr - is it glass or simply painted roof beneath?

warm up the generator before pulling it off.
mine came off pretty easy and left no tape on the roof.
although , underneath was a little dirty
