Question Croxx Plate 2 - force

Can anyone tell me whether they "Feel" as if there is lift or downforce (or neither) created from the Croxx plate?
I have not installed my splitter yet (one delta@a time) and I am trying to figure out how to imprive downforce.
Doesn't Ferrari employ covered undercarriages?!?!

Thank you

By the way - perfect fitment - great job guys!

The Croxx plate is not intended to improve aero although it might. It's intended to stiffen the front of the car (which it does according to the seat of my pants). As for the splitter - to be effective you should be able to stand on it without causing visible deformation.

Modern Ferraris utilize a flat bottom and ground effects. Sure they're overpriced but they carefully design the cars in a windtunnel.

My plan to improve downforce on my wingless RS is first to add a rear diffuser and then possibly a splitter (less drag than winglets).

I am most interested in that I am NOT invoking lift...

What's the saying... You know you like to drive fast when you think wings are used to create downforce!

The WORKS Croxx plate should help decrease lift at high speeds. However, we haven't tested it in a wind tunnel to confirm this
