Pretty? No. But it does add to downforce (though I can't remember the exact numbers).

Regarding adhesive, it has two settings -- one for a little more downforce, one for maximum downforce. Which also proves the team spent some time designing this piece. I would prefer it were more perfectly integrated with the main spoiler, but I'm glad someone saw an opportunity to improve the car and took action.

On-track pretty doesn't much matter...
150lbs of downforce.

I like the idea of extra downforce. Has anyone on the board made one of these in CF?

Not sure about that but I will update if I find out. I am looking into it for my 14 2SS/RS to see if it will work with the lines. I could use more downforce for the strip.

Hate to admit my age, but I saw that car race at Watkins before they outlawed it. Jim Hall introduced the top wing that would rotate under braking as a added wind brake.

I'm liking the look of this.. at first I wasn't sure, but then I saw the one on the AGM, and thought it looks pretty darn good.

Install of wicker bill. I need help.

I have a hole drill put the rivnut in the hole and tried the put a bolt in it a tight the nut against it to tighten it up and the rivnut just spins. Any help would be great.

If you used the riv-nut wrench to install the riv-nut, there is a chance you got it too tight and it stripped out the hole. Hope that didn't happen.
