FD model file request

I've recently been doing of lot of fluid flow simulations for work, and I thought it would be cool to run some of the fd in my spare time. I've been searching around the internet for a model that I can use, but haven't had any luck yet.

Does anyone here have one, or know where I could get it for free? I've found some, but I have to pay for the download, and I'm too broke to be doing that right now.

I was thinking it would be cool to run several simulations comparing stock and various modified cars, so anything anybody has would be very appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time. I think this could be a really cool project.

Do you mean a fluid flow simulation over the shell itself? That would be pretty cool. I'm subscribing because I want to see what you come up with, please?

Yeah. I'm hoping to get a variety of different wings and bumpers, etc. and compare them. I don't know how accurate the results will be because I don't have actual numbers for flow through the bumper or hood vents.
