Default Quick question...

Hey whats up guys. I wanted to know, does the Nismo Version 1 body kit for our car actually do anything? I mean is it there for looks or does it function? I know some kits like Top Secret and C-west does do things for the car. So would the rear wing actually add downforce and the front bumper get more air in? I am asking this because I was planning on getting the front lip, side skirts and rear under spoilers but if the whole thing actually does something, then I might as well get the full kit. I am pretty sure the Ver. 2 kit works but its not available here yet. Thanks alot.

If you look at modifications for race cars, and kits for street cars, I think you will see difference. Generally, a racing front spoiler is a integral part of the bumper, not simply attached to the front bumper. And a rear spoiler is tuned in a tunnel. It also is supported by the rear bumper.

At 100 mph plus how much of a role does a race aerodynamic package play? Maybe 1/10 second per lap. Not much but enough to win a race.

So are you trying to say that the Nismo Ver.1 kit is fully functional?
