The wing does as advertised. When I hit speeds over 70MPH the car is definitely more stable. The Steeda front Splitter in combination with the rear wing... highly recommended. If a visual mod ain't functional then it only contributes to a drag coefficient. So make your investment wisely. Just sayin.
When I look at visual mods I'm either saying to myself... that's downforce or that's drag.
Make it work for you. Not against you.

If the wheels are lightweight forged or flow formed not cast...then you can't go wrong as they'll be lighter and stronger otherwise it's just looks.
And I can't get past Cervini hoods being so expensive for just a non-functional "LOOK". But, if it rocks your world. Go for it.
in the end ... It's about making it your own.

Yup.
Otherwise why have a hood scoop?
Roush 427r Functional Ram Air Hood pictured here...notice the vent positioned right where a CAI would be? And the heat extractor panels are removable. Can be placed back on for long storage periods.
Not just for appearance.
I'll add... there is also a partial conduit to the passenger side extractor for flow extraction at speed. And the ram air inlet also has a small corner that expels airflow slightly over the driver side that allows for the same cooling over the exhaust with rapid air extraction at speed.
Roush typically allows for form that follows function in MOST of what they do.
or they also have stick on frisbees that look the part.
Just sayin.

Though this was last weekend, I found out I need new front calipers and wheel bearings (third set for the wheel bearings and don't know why). Since I need the calipers, I am also replacing rotors and of course pads too. Hoping to have them all on by the end of Friday.
