Not really feeling how the edge is very prominent near the front there. I also have to see thing this with a full-on car view. There's potential.

Aren't vortex generators used in conjunction with a rear wing that is tall enough to be in the disrupted airflow behind the strakes on the roof? So, without a wing designed to work with these, they're just useless bumps on the roof?

Doubtful VIS racing, of all companies, did any testing to see if this works.

Fitment looks poor, front not flush with front of roof (could be proto type, but meh)

waste of money

Looks like a test fit to me. It's not actually taped on securely. You can see the lift in the front.

Look man, they're speed fins. Each fin = speed. There's 5 fins aka 5 added speed.

This will go great with my bumper I've got coming with speed holes. Guys at the mall meet are going to be so jelly.
