Nice job on the dash. The vortekz thing looks pretty neat. How much did you spend on it?

This is actually from an EVO manual^^^^

And if he post on here wanting comments on his ride he'll get 'em. He only asked for what he wanted...

Hahaha, what you are seeing is a direct translation of Mitsubishi's OEM vortex generator wind tunnel testing. You were suckered...

He is not blind you took the picture from a different point. As you can see his pic is from about 5ft. away yours is from 20ft. away that will make the angles look completely diff. The data used to make the Vortekz VG' is based on Mitsu's design and testing. They got all that info 1st from airplane VG’s. It was nice of them to offer that test PDF that proved the idea works. Yes they did the wind tunnel testing not Vortekz, we are adding a disclaimer to that image as we speak. To be honest the more research I have done the more I am finding out that you could put some folded business cards at a 15 degree angle on the car 100mm before the air flow separation as long as they are not causing drag (over 25mm tall) they will still do the same thing.

According to research I have done your bulky fatter vg's will not do as good of a job as the Vortekz models, they slice the air much better and will cause less drag. As you can see in the Mitsu PDF doc the more bubbly the VG is the worse of a job it does of creating a good vortex. Making functional VG’s universal for any car like they do with airplanes is mainly why I came up with these.
