Who really knows? Nobody spends the time and money to put these things in a wind tunnel to test them. They may not have run the theory by a engineer to see if the placement is sound. The only thing that has been proved is the Mazdaspeed body mods. They reduce aero drag and high speed lift.
Others may also, it's just they haven't been proved.

Yea, the gas buddy also seems quite gay. Ricer wings rank up there on a stock car. So, unless you buy the rainbow bumper sticker....stay away from the lame *** stick-on, glue-on, and tape on "hop ups".

again super generic post even if you have no one really cares, we dont know for what, when, or where you did it but no one seems to care. Just like on one care for your dumbass comments.
-Actually if you want to get into a digital pissing contest, I attended MICA on a full merritt based scholarship, and am the first and only traditional artist to be hired by the US Army to design and build future combat systems.

They are cosmetic.
I've never known any peel and stick product that did anything other than take a few bucks out of someones pocket or make a car look rice.

Vortex Generator Fins belong on airplanes where they actually do something.
They also belong on Evo's because they are part of what makes an Evo look fierce.
They do not belong on an 8.
Maybe R-magic makes their parts for women. Pink wouldn't be "gay" then, now would it.
