Check out Vortekz.com. Pretty decent, especially for the money.

does anyone have experience with vortekz.com? It seems like a good option considering the price, and since non of the VG's are a perfect fit anyways

No disrespect, but those "vortekz" fins look a little cheesy to me.
Now, the fact that they're tunable is pretty interesting (the relative angle between them can be chosen).
Nevertheless, they are not smooth to the roof at the base, to I'm thinking that any possible benefit is negligible (not that most people buy them for the actual function...let's not go there! )

Actually, are ANY aftermarket VG flush with the roof? And you're right, the actual performance gains from these is negligible, especially at road/track day speeds. So if its just for looks, why pay over $200 for something that ways more??

Ya..was in process of buying though the guy at FQ... Lee Linford. Any, I waited more than 4 weeks and still never got my VG. He told me he sent it in the mail and never gave me a tracking number. I kept contacting him through e-mail and then he stopped. I filed a complaint with bank and got my money back .They are looking into this issue now. I wouldn't waste your time buying from FQ motorsports.
