It sure would be nice for this to be cleared up. I would be SHOCKED if Rexpeed made it different than OEM. It costs money to do R&D. It would be a lot quicker for Rexpeed to make a mold and be done with it.

Lots of good information, just don't read the OP's comments, he's lost.

Post 54 is Indy's.

I read that post when it was originally posted. The problem I have with it is it's one person stating it. Versus other people (including the company that makes them) that they are exact molds. /confused. Oh well I'll just keep my money I guess.

That's the beauty of it though, its your decision based on what you find out. I would say the ratio of people that will actually get use out of the VG (on a track) to those that have it on a DD, is 3:4. For those looking for an edge on the track, go OEM. For those that want the looks and the idea that it works, go Rexpeed.

I'm curious does anybody make a 1x1 carbon fiber vortex generator to match the factory wing. I swear I could have seen Rexpeed made one awhile ago.

OEM. Fits good. Looks good. Functions good. Don't care if it's more expensive, it's proven.

Oddly enough my stock Cool Silver generator is a tad darker than the rest of the car. Reason why I want a CF one.
