70% of the stuff of the aero stuff you can buy pretty much does nothing but add drag. You're better off getting a custom splitter made from aluminum, and using a GT-200 wing. The diffusers for this car are essentially useless because the bottom the car is not flat, and the wake from the diffuser has absolutely no interaction with the rear wing. Canards can help to a small extent, but they don't have enough surface area to provide a good amount of downforce. Venting the front fenders so high pressure air doesn't build up in the fender wells would work better than using any dive plane, likewise for the rear.

very helpful reply, Slowcrash_101, thank you.

Can you answer few questions please?

How diffuser can interact with rear wing?

How is better in terms of performance vent fenders? Like Spoon fenders or like ASM fenders, or maybe like J`s type GT or another?

If i have wheel setup, that is wider than fenders by 3-5 cm, how can i estimate bad impact of it and how big it can be?

Maybe you can give some link to pages explains my questions in aerodynamics book? I`m really don`t have much time to read many books now

Are you going to be tracking this car at high speed? As in running on a real track with real race tires at real speed? If so, then you need to find the time to read the books to learn how this aero stuff works. Otherwise you are a danger to yourself and others.

If not, then all this areo stuff is really just cosmetic, so it doesn't matter much if its setup properly. Its not something you're ever going to really utilize. So just get whatever looks good to you.
