My guess is the wings does very little as the airflow is disrupted by the airdam

also looks kind of stupid IMHO

If you have a wing, you really need to have the correct suspension including coilovers and probably some front aero as well

I'd buy something like apswater bought if it could be attached with the air dam part still on.

Unfortunately if you desire a wing you need the underside space where the low pressure is generated. That means air space under it. Otherwise one ends with a spoiler lip...

Whether or not the wing is the right shape down force value or actual works is a whole other matter...

I kinda like the bi-plane look
