Nice article. One thing to note is that this is meant for professional racing and not for the Civic down the block with the e-bodykits.com monstrosity.

Yeah, note how none of that is even remotely applicable to the body kits that anyone ever puts on their street car. All for show.

Hi,

That's what I was going to say. Today's cars are all very slick Drag Coefficient wise, like 3 times that of the usual Race Car.

Not only that, but most Aftermarket kits do nothing at all under 100MPH and even then - next to nothing. They're way too far off the ground to have any appreciable effect at all. Purely a high-priced aesthetic...
