Default Let's talk Aero...

So as you all know, I am involved in the One Lap of America. Striving to improve the car, one of the things we are planning for the 2016 run is to put some aero on the car....and therein lies the problem. It is "officially" my wife's car and all modifications must run through her. As much as I would love one of those nice big carbon wings, that has gotten the big huge thumbs down. She does, however, approve of the Nismo wing, and says I can even get a splitter as long as I get a different bumper to put it on. As the title says, let's talk Aero.

As far as the rear wing is concerned, I THINK I have narrowed it down to either the actual (and pricey) Nismo wing, or the Evo R wing. They both seem very similar apart from the height, and the extra width of the Evo. So, does anyone know which one actually is a better Aero package? Does the extra height (I would think that is better) and width (also seems better) make up for the reduced angle of the outside "winglets"? Or do I need to go hunting for an actual Nismo wing? Opinions wanted!

Next to the front. I like the looks of the Evo R front "splitter" but its effect would seem a bit minimal. I have seen the Stillen, but also have seen the droop complaints. Does anyone have any opinions on a good splitter out there? Not interested in canards...just the front splitter? I'm not opposed to making one but would need some guidance on that.

So, what do you think? I would prefer not to make this a $2500 investment but if it ends up this way...it does. Trying to defend our title from last year, so we are looking to improve the car. Let's hear some thoughts!
