What's interesting is that there isn't a ton of separation down the back window. I think the vortex generator white paper may have had some pictures but I can't recall. I also may have seen something from AMB and/or APR.
What I'd really love is to get a hold of some damn front canards. But it seems really no one makes them.
I've been pondering the generic Voltex ones, they've got 3 sizes plus the WTAC ones. Seen those on any cars?
I've seen them used but...meh. It bugs me that there's no public bolted data and I don't love the design personally (other than the stack ones, but prepare you anus for the price on those).
I spend sometime this winter with 10mm Alumalite and created a front splitter that hopefully will be more effective that my APR splitter.
The whole assemble weights in at 25 lbs, vs the APR one at 15lbs. Not as light as I wanted; however, I have high hopes that it will do well. The splitter was able to support me at 180 lbs. I had my wife stand on it because she is prettier than me.

i was speed reading this and thought you had your wife stand on it because she weighted 180 lbs. then i saw the pic and realized i reading comprehension had failed me
nice work on the splitter. i was going to do a new splitter this year but thinking of bumping down to TT4, so no elaborate splitter are allowed, only 4"
heres what i wound up with for a diffuser. it definitely added some stability to the car overall, felt much less floaty, and i backed the wind down one level...but i may have had too much in it to begin with.
Yeah, I know it's not optimized, but there is a definite change in the flow at the back of the car that I can see going down my dusty road. The flow is smoother and it's certainly reducing drag, I dropped the rear wing, and the rear still felt more stable then ever. That and closing off the front made the car feel noticeably less floaty at speed.
Now if only I had the money to redo/correct all my suspension.
Some nice DIY splitters here..I'm also looking to do a splitter like awdboosted except smaller using an apr cf splitter as the base and aluminium for the dam part...wel see how it turns out..my main reason for making one is regulate undercarriage airflow rather than front downforce. It will stick out 3-4" max.

nice. What did you do on the edges there, just taped them?
