Vortex generators? Opinions?

Gave these a thought. Just sat em on there at this point, just seeing how they look. I'm on the fence. What you guys think?

Looks like a bunch of GPS Antennas. I don't care for it.

Yeah, I liked them on my evo with a wing. Same thing with mud flaps. I wish they worked more with a 370.

I'm on the same page, doesn't look bad really, but looks a lot cheaper than I imagined it looking for some reason. Probably figure something else out to do with em. Just thought it would be different.

With the Nismo wing these things do actually work quite well from a down force perspective. Of course if you are not tracking the car, expect some HBO jokes. :P

Question: Are these on the Nismos racing in the Continental Series? One would expect all the teams would use them if they were that functional.

Well that series is cancelled via the dip$***** at Nissan, but I don't think they are allowed to do much besides factory aero anyway. I know a fair amount of evo and subie guys use them with factory aero.

These are for a car that has light spoiler/duckbill, light wing. With a full GT wing, they would be silly.

Votrex generators do work but if they are not setup right they are useless drag and I am pretty sure no one here has the tools to set them up correctly.
