But for looks I think the lower mounts may look better

When's the GB starting?

Like this particular wing has anything to do with "downforce"

No not yet. Because the original ones are composite, and they have a slight curve in them. If I get Aluminum ones, I need to compensate for this curve and I have not yet had time to work it all out and CAD up some new risers.
