Vortex Generator. Where to Buy?

Hey guys,

I want to purchase a color matched WW vortex generator. I was curious where everyone got theirs and how they fit. Money isn't the issue, I just want a prefect fit/matching color.

I was thinking Rexpeed?

Rexpeed seems to fit well and matches fine.

I bought the rexpeed one to match my octane blue. And it did not fit. I had to trim around the atenna part to get it to go down all the way. SSS package vortex generators might fit fine but for some reason mine didnt. But otherwise it does look pretty awesome.

i got a rexpeed painted for the WW no sss package and it fit, but it was very tight around the antenna, most likely could have used a slight trim but i made it work, now that it looks nice, the paint color matched well and i do get a lot of complements. Best part is, rexpeed seems to be on the inexpensive side!

+1. Mine ripped off while I was on the freeway! Scared the sh** out of me. I know it wasn't an error on my part because I have installed a few of these.

yeahh. mine started to lift up on some parts of the vortex generator. so I went to walmart and bought 100lbs capable double sided tape. 3 months in and its still goood. So I HIGHLY recommend that .

this is going to sound sketch, but i dont plan or reselling mine and i dont plan on removing it, i covered the entire bottom in 3m double sided tape from the store (not the stuff they sent) and then even used a SMALL bit of epoxy on the trouble areas. i then covered the entire VG in towels and put a number of small weights adding up to about 20-30 lbs overnight. Its been on for about 2 months and is still very solid (and ive taken it around 80 mph for a sustained period of time with no issues
