How much do you want to pay for it? They go about that price used!

If $200.00 is to expensive, then it may be possible you have bought the wrong car.

it is if the piece does..... nothing for you in terms of performance unless you seriously track your car..... in which case there are more expensive cars to choose from.... since we are all ballers here.

for the rest of us that live in the real world with bills........ 200 is a bit much just for carbon fiber overlaying on fiberglass

The point is. Products cost what they cost. You spend 35-40k on a vehicle. Spending $200.00 on a part or accessory is just the nature of the beast if you will. If you were to buy a Hyundai Accent for 13k-15k. Then spending $200.00 on a single part would seem expensive.

Just my opinion.

this is one of those you get what you pay for items, if you want a nice unit shell out for it, if not just go on ebay and grab one.

Damnn is it really worth it to void out your 100k/10 year manufacturer warranty with only 200 miles just to add a little HP/TQ

This kind of elitist attitude is laughable. I just bought a $120 Rexpeed vortex generator. Should I be driving a Hyundai? You're driving an Evo buddy. It's a kid car for adults.


To answer the original question, you should get the painted Rexpeed vortex generator. The fitment is 100%. I've had 2 APR carbon fiber vortex generators. The first had fitment issues, so I complained and they revised it and sent me the current version. That still didn't fit like the Rexpeed one does, and the clear coat began to yellow and peel very quickly.

Evidently I came off the wrong way. Must be the government shutdown!

I don't believe I'm superior to anyone, nor do I act that way. Point I was trying to make is that carbon fiber, is an expensive material. Companies can charge a lot for it especially since there really isn't to many that make the VG for are cars. RexSpeed, APR, and maybe a few others.

Personally I wouldn't go with a carbon fiber VG. I would get the painted version. Seeing you have the wicked white color I, just an opinion would try and get a gloss black if possible. I think that would look good on white.
