Rexspeed Vortex Generator.

So I'm ordering the Evolution X trunk badge from rexspeed and notice they have vortex generators for almost half the price of APR and they even offer painted one for like 115$..

So my question is does anyone have a rexspeed vortex generator? What's the firmest like? Is it good quality? Why is it so cheap?

My car is Apex silver I'm torn between what would look better an apex silver generator to match the car or go with the carbon fiber. Opinions?

The APR is twice as much because the quality and fitment are light years beyond Rexpeed. I have the APR on my X and it fit perfect and still looks as new as the day I bought it even after a few East Coast winters.

here is my rexspeed VG after 2 years if i am right, and my Seibon CF wing after like 5 years, no sign any fatige at all yet.

bot piece has a great fitment and finish still.





another Rexspeed adition on the car, still fitment and finish looks great, but i did only install it couple of months ago.



when its installed finally, i love it, its makes a lot more air going on to the turbo and strangly it is direct hit for the upper IC pipe too :

Alright that's the opinion I needed, someone that actually has experience with their stuff. Now just to decide if CF or painted will look better on my AS GSR

I have a AS GSR as well and have been thinking of getting a VG. I'll probably go with black or cf

Yah I'm going with the CF, I'm trying to find a duckbill trunk that's AS but everyone just has CF and I hate the way CF trunks look on AS cars.

That is the link to my post. I did the CF hood Scoop and the White Vortex Generator. They fit great and look awesome.

There PU painted vortex generators fit pretty much perfect! I am very happy with mine! The painted ones are cheaper because they are not carbon fiber the a poly urethane.

how can apr's fitment be light years beyond rexpeed when rexpeed's fitment is perfect?

i have a rexpeed vortex and i know of two others that have it on the evo. all three of our vortex fitment is perfect.

something like this (90% of its purpose is looks), you should spend as little money as possible. unless you're planning on taking your car to shows, i cant see anybody wanting to spend apr money.

i've heard of people getting bad batches from rexpeed. if you happen to get one, just contact rexpeed and return it. when i ordered my vortex, the shipment got delayed three days. rexpeed gave me a free gurney flap for the trouble. thats what you call customer service. people at rexpeed are standup people that provide excellent products at reasonable price. you can't go wrong with them.
