Re: Artic Silver Live Aerokit
Wing? Wayyy Wayyy toooo toooo much for me. But if the wing attracts the chicks where you live: go for it. Where I live it would repulse women.
As far as the front? I have serious philosophical objections to trying to further jazz up the already non-functional center section of the front bumper grille.

That wing is hideous and looks like something some riceboy would add to a Civic.
The front is great, the wing looks awful. I wonder how they could do that to such a beautiful car?
The wing of the 996 GT3 MkII was nicer and even the larger GT3 RS wing was much better than this one.
I'm afraid the 997 GT3 gets the same wing, it is a pitty.

Re: Artic Silver Live Aerokit
Thanks for the nice shots 
.
I saw a black one w/ Aerokit at the local dealer in person, the front looks beautiful but the back looks really out of place. I thought may be the rear doesn't look good in pictures but in person it is even worse. Like the fron though.

well said ............
Re: Artic Silver Live Aerokit
I hope that the 997 Gt3 RS will have a different rear spoiler (like the Cup car ,but obviously smaller ) ...I'll replace it immediatly .
Cargraphic produce a good Cup replica ....maybe .....
if u like I repost an Aerokit in speed yellow ...better for me ...this is a sample pic

Re: Artic Silver Live Aerokit
The real deal is the Factory Aerokit:
Aerokit Cup Aerodynamic Values:
front end lift force 0.00
rear end lift force -0.02
Notes:Note the real downforce on the rear axle.
Former Aerokits only reduced the upforces.
Negative values represent downforce.
Stock Carrera Values:
front end lift force 0.05
rear end lift force 0.02
Funny you never hear about aerodynamic values from the aftermarket suppliers....I wonder why that is

What are the units of measurement, and I'm also interested in what speed they were measured at?

Aerodynamic values are measured in extremely expensive wind tunnels. How many aftermarket suppliers spend REAL money developing their kits?
The figures shown above are "coefficients", which do not have units. They are like decimal "factors" of the absolute quantity of "1.00". In other words, a coeffiecient of 0.02 is the equivalent of 2%. I'm not a mathematician, so make no claims for the absolute accuracy of this explanation.
Strictly speaking, I guess the above reference should have been to "front end coefficient of lift", and not "front end lift force", because force would be expressed in units of Newtons, or those hangovers from the past, pounds, or kiloponds (= kilogram force, as opposed to kilogram mass).
Coefficients are used to quantify aerodynamic drag or lift because their values remain constant regardless of the wind speed at which they are measured, whereas drag or lift forces rise with the square of the speed increase.
Are you sorry you asked yet?
