Eh, now we've got to argue semantics. A spoiler may reduce lift, but it doesn't add downforce. Now, where we draw the line between reducing lift and adding downforce is open to interpretation. Is the removal of an upward force the same as adding a downward force? On paper it's not, but in the real world it's functionally the same.

OP, either go with one of the big APR wings that's high up enough to get into the airflow in the back of the car, use the Nismo wing, or the sport package spoiler. Whet you've posted is for looks, and may make the car's aero worse. At least you know Nissan tested the Nismo wing and the sport spoiler.

Ugh. Why did they have to make the holes for the diffuser different than for the wing!?? Asses. Swapping on race day is the real solution. I saw someone talking about putting plugs in holes (hey---family show!) but they were just doing a switch and didn't want to repaint. I wonder if I can plug the holes...time to look for a DIY.

Thanks Chuck

Huh...I'm listening. Would it be easier to swap out the hatch than the spoiler/wing?

That would be my guess. I'd ask some of the hardcore track guys about exactly how it all works and how easy it is to swap back and forth.
