Well, the air flow will have passed already, but LtNoogie put it on his car and it still redirects the airflow towards the middle. So, if you have a mid-hatch spoiler, it'll direct it towards there, creating more downforce (which I'm not sure why you would want to do that on a fwd car).

because my car wants to fly when im taking turns going.... at certain speeds

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-22-2009, 05:45 PM

TheRealEnth · 07-22-2009, 05:45 PM

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-22-2009, 05:47 PM

Garm had one on his front end. You can ask him where he got his if you really want one.

TheRealEnth · 07-22-2009, 05:48 PM

Garm will hopefully respond soon =)

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-22-2009, 05:48 PM

Because at high speeds where aerodynamic aids will actually show any kind of effect, the rear of the car is effected by lift.
