When we are talking a full replacement body kit, I'd say Artisan over Wald.

For a lip kit, I would go with Ventross. If I were looking to do any type of aero, I would probably do the Ventross package because I do love our stock bumpers. The CF lip/diffuser just accents it a bit, maybe add some CF sideskirts from somewhere else.

I'm biased cuz i have it but the Tom's CF kit is the way to go... perfect fitment and subtly of the look is what got me and why I had to have it! Artisan and wald rear is nice but that fronts are too transformer for my taste IMO

Want an idea? Talk Voltex or Varis into making us some functional parts! Then be the exclusive dealer.

+1. A functional splitter would be a huge improvement.

If you guys are really really serious about it, I have a company that could produce something like that. For example a Full Carbon Underbody Tray like they have on Porsche GT3's. It would run from the very front to the very rear making the entire car flat underneath for extra downforce.

I'd say baby steps first, but a flat bottom full carbon undertray giving way to a functional diffuser would be awesome. How many $k are we talking for a GT3, and how much of that is because Porsche owners are used to paying a lot more for anything Porsche?

PM Sent, but I think a full undertray would trap too much heat for our cars. Porsches do not have this dilemma due to their motor/exhaust being in the rear.

I think a front splitter/undertray, some guides in the middle and a rear diffuser would suffice.

I currently have the only "prototype" Voltex wing made 100% for the ISx50 and IS-F.

It was tested to produce 9lbs per sq inch of force across the plane.

Mine is 1600mm x 330mm

this = 0.528 meters squared

total inches = 41.57

= 395lbs @ 120mph (which is the target for Voltex)

You can add more with the Gurany Flap or a Type 3 wing.

This cost me $ 2600.

Also alot of R&D on my part.


This was kinda off topic sry....Proceed............. >>>>Wald for me btw

Neat to know info, 2600 isnt too much higher than the normal Voltex wings already available as well.
