Default Replica CS Roof fin?

Anyone know of a replica of the CS roof fins? Couldn't find one online and $650 is a little ridiculous IMO.

vortex generators they help to line up the air molecules so that makes your spoiler more efficient

They break up air flow, would need to look at it, but i since we have a long sloped window i think it does nothing on our cars.

Same as above, although proper vortex generators are angled rather than straight, to create a spinning vortex and to avoid the airflow from separating itself from the roof line. If air does separate from the angled line, it causes coefficient drag. As stated above roofs are not angled enough to have an issues with airflow separation. Evo's and Sti's on the other hand do and you can see from their design that they already have attachments to their roofs.

Well its going to look like you have a stick on part that serves no purpose, just like the pep boys stick on fender vents. All good if thats the look you want your car to have.

You're seriously comparing ChargeSpeed to PepBoys?
