kits dont help aero dynamics any more than adding a front lip to your car the stock car is fine, how fast do oyu plan on going here, you might also need a wing

I have never NEVER NEVER seen any aero numbers posted by any aftermarket body "kit" maker. Much less some that are BETTER than stock.

actually......veilside (i think i spelt that right) does wind tunnel testing on thier body kits.....but i havnt seen drag coeficient #'s posted..... but then again, they cost a fortune also! and they dont make a kit for the fc......

to be honest, the fc has a great aerodynamic body w/ a drag coefficiency of .31....or .29 w/ the sport package.....bettering the porche 911 at the time....

throw a lip and a functional wing on it, lift the sunroof a bit (dont open it, just lift it....gives a kinda "wing" affect to the roof)....and you'll have more downforce than you should need
