Default Aero performance parts, that work

Has anyone used and have any positive experience with any splitters, wings, diffusers that work and aren't cosmetic, and what company, or who made them ?

APR performance makes aero parts, wings etc. that are functional, but you pay a high price. Top of the line and used by racers for real downforce and effects. I don't think there's any "street" gains to be had other than looks. Anything you add is extra weight and more drag.

RS Future comes up a lot in the time attack community- they've produced custom aero for a lot of race cars. They'd be my first call if I were building a race car.

Ab-Flug is the only company that I can think of that makes an off-the-shelf splitter and diffuser, specific to the GS/Aristo, that seem built to be functional.

@EuroWill knows all about Abflung and has their front and rear splitters on his car. He's a great resource
