You've been a member here for a year, yet you still ask a question like that?
The answers lie in these threads, my son - blessed are they that search.
Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest!
....so it is written, so let it be done,

.....and the Lord looked upon the thread....and it was good.

not sure if that was sarcastic or not... but anyways, here's the 2nd sticky down, which summarizes most of the lower-end aftermarket stuff. This will cover most (not all obviously) things below $1000 which will net you some power, but not much mind you.

You got it all wrong. The fender strakes operate on the Burneoli Principale, which states air that travels a longer distance must increase speed. In the case of the fender strakes, which are an air foil, the air going over the top of the strakes must travel at a higher rate of speed to meet the air that was split and is traveling along the bottom of the strake. The higher speed up top on the strakes create a low pressure zone above it, thus creating lift under the strake. When yu exceed speeds of 60mph the lift is so great you lighten you car by 500-lbs, in effect gaining rear-wheel horsepower. At speeds over 100-mph, the lift effect by the strakes is so great you need the Mazdaspeed wing to create enough downforce to keep your car on the ground. But the serious lift still picks the front end of the car off the ground, so you loose, in effect, 1500-lbs of mass and the reduced level of friction by having your front tires off the ground.
