May 31, 2011 - Aero!
The car will be spending more time at high speed than before, so I'm going to do a bit of work to stick it to the ground. I'll be doing a spoiler on the trunk lid, and this air dam will help balance it out. The relatively high ride height of the car will make the air dam less effective than it would be on a track car, but you work with what you have. The part is made of flexible polyurethane so it'll deal well with impacts.
Due to that higher ride height, it will probably be difficult to balance the downforce of a wing. Still, if I can get time, I'd like to test that.
