Where’s the Aero?

[AspecR]

Alot of options for front lips but not much for side skirts or rear diffusers. Anyone running aftermarket CF side skirts? Besides APR

Quite a few are available: APR, Seibon, CMST, Dark Matter Carbon, Maxton Design, AeroFlow Dynamics are working on some, EVS Tuning, Blitz, Adro, I can list a few more if you want other options.

Has anyone gotten their hands on the Aimgain front lip? Been waiting on my order since Aril and losing interest.

I doubt it, the high-end JDM stuff usually takes a while.

Exceed Japan has pretty much completed their front lip and splitter combo for the FL5. You can order it from:

1). https://www.battlecraft-parts.com/

2). https://exceedjp.theshop.jp/

So Varis takes the stick-on widebody fenders, of the biggest cosmetic complaints about the DE5, and they bring them to the FL5. Interesting.

I do like that hood though!

Looks like this swan neck GT wing now has an fl5 base fitment. Epsilon + Aerodynamics. No experience with the brand.

I really can't wait for this swan neck crap to go out of style. Does that make me old? Pretty sure that makes me old.

Makes sense for racing/tracking obviously but street cars, just to look like a race car…

Can't find the lip on BattleCraft website. Also do you know if the Exceed Japan website will even let the order go through? They have no mention of US shipping or method of payment.

Battlecraft is their US supplier so more than likely they’d refer you to them. It’s not gonna appear on the battlecraft site just yet because they haven’t officially launched it yet. Best bet is to message them through the “Contact” option and set up a purchase directly with the sales team.

What’s the advantage for the crane neck wing over non-crane neck?

 

[Zeke01]

It has less drag from the mount so is more effective than a below mounted wing.

The underside of the wing is what actually generates the downforce. The bottom mounted stands disrupt the airflow, Crane neck wings allow the underside of the wing to work more efficiently.

I should’ve googled. lol

Good thing, my purchasing decision for my Voltex wing was 95% based on looks alone.
