Would work even better if it were a vortex generator ala the WRC ones that made their way into the aftermarket scene.

And here are the pics, i took just placed the wing on the window and held it with two little peices of tape.

One could argue that the downward force would now be to the immediate front of the rear wheels instead of behind the rear wheels at the rear deck lid wing. But because any deflaction force with this wing is now moved more than half the distance toward the CG point of the car it would lessen the amount of downward force being generated over the wheels.

So someone please explain what is it's advantage as the physics resulting from its location seems to suggest a possible disadvantage.

one could also argue that the downforce generated is now more evenly distributetd at the 4 corners.

What down force??? The closer the down-force is occuring to the C.G. point the force becomes less effective since the force is being exerted near the fulcrum point of the car (C.G.).

At the position the little wing is located at the top of the window that is so near the C.G. point of the 370Z that the force is reduced to practically zero at that wing.

So what force????

I already have the stillen roof wing installed & painted, just curious was that the first one they sent you?
