I was very disappointed in this thread. I opened it thinking I was gonna see stuff like this

On a side note - Bullseye smokin' chipotle bbq sauce goes excellent on grilled wings. So damn tasty.

It's not the point if they are ugly or not. Sure i think they are ugly. But that doesn't undermind the function. And realisically, even a cheap front lip should provide some downforce as well. As long as you are limiting airflow under the car, you are getting downforce. Well, not really, but reducing "up force"
The problem I find with wings is that they are universal, they aren't designed properly for whatever vehicle you may be getting it for. Even if you got an adjustable one, most people just don't have access to the resources required to find the optimal configuration for their application. In my opinion you would just be better off getting a decent front bumper/lip and rear diffuser. Although that does bring up the point of canards and splitters. Kinda fuzzy on those. Splitters are supposed to increase downforce in the front by slowing the air down? Something like that, anyone able to explain?

Lips/Diffusers/Spliters is your best best. The wing is nothing but dead weight really. I don't see any benifit to it on a FWD car but a few show points here and there..Honestly even with splitters I don't see much use on our cars besides looks. If anything you ever got enough speed to actually create resonable down force on the wing you'd lose traction on the front wheels unless you had some sort of diffuser's on the front to keep more down force on the front than you have on the rear...ok i've rambled on long enough long story short...look for a good looking wing and light weight because thats all it will really be is looks and weight.

Splitters/Diffusers on the front of the car keep the air from creating turbulence underneath the car which will slow it down. They either force it over or around the car/wheel well. In essence what you're trying to do is "suck" the car to the ground. Wings add downforce to the rear end, which most RWD cars need, not so much on FWD cars even though some still have them.

You puss, I wash down jalapenos and atomic wings with tabasco sauce, not that shitty red stuff either, I'm talking peppers sitting in whatever that fluid is.
