APR Front Splitter?!?
The thing to remember with any real aero mods is at what speed are their effective. Tooling to work/around a parking lot, not so much, but at pace at the track...yeah.
Even something as simple as the gurney flap + vortex generator on the IXs goes from an additional 2lbs of downforce at at about 60mph to 40lbs+ (from memory...you can go and search around for the post on that) at 100mph+.
Keep in mind that when you see the serious canards on the all out pro cars they usually don't just run them by themselves. They also have lips/splitters and so on and the total package is what makes the aero useful.
Its just like the folks who run the Vortex generators with no rear wing. Since the whole point of the VG was to disturb the air and create a disturbance right about where the stock wing height is (dig around for the wind tunnel pic that shows the air flow from the VG over a stock wing) without the wing its just there for style.
JID where is the link to your post on your aero builds? Be interested to see how that is going.
