valence, chin spoilers that actually work, or downforce generators???

anyone offer any rear valence or front valence, chin spoilers or 'front wings' that actually help high speed stability?

i've seen the crappy 'xenon' body kits and goofy OEM 'sport packages' but i want something that works. i hit 150+ in the camaro once and swore i'd never do it again...but things change.

any way, i'm looking for a rear valence, someone here has an aluminum one they hand made i liked...a difusor of sorts...and definitely something for the front.

what i have in mind is something that goes below or above the blinkers, straight at first then curves up with the body lines to create a downforce on the front end...they tend to float at higher speeds. i've seen all kinds of 'rice' body kits that have them embedded into the kits, but nothing really add-on. maybe a CF or aluminum piece that mounts somewhere and will hold up to the pressures.

maybe something like these: http://www.predator-performance.com/images/canard.jpg

or these: javascriptopupWindow('http://www.streamlineparts.net/cart/popup_image.php?pID=414')

please...no rice comments...i wouldnt be putting this crap on here if i didnt think i needed it...believe me.

Back in the '70s, people tried those canards on Lamborghini Miuras, because they had a LOT of problems with lifting up. I don't believe they were effective enough.

Take some inspiration from the Camaro GT1 cars maybe.

Take note of the clear rear spoiler. The RKSport ducktail is similar.


Front end curves upward and around the entire body.


The rear end curves outward so instead of trapping air like the stock bumper, it goes out.

cool deal. i did see a new front chin spoiler that wasnt out the last time i looked (around 2 years ago) and i might just add the 'body kit' so it doesnt look goofy in the front alone...

then again...i might just deal with the float
