Fifteen52 Releases Front Lip, Sills, Flares, & Wing Extension
- Thread starter BoostBumps
- Start date
I appreciate using quality construction methods to make your parts, very much so.
Some of the parts made for these cars from fiberglass and CF may be weak and heavy but not many are made and so far the hood from Seibon, which is very well made, has proven to be much lighter that stock as is the hatch door, I am sure there are other well made parts available as well that are not pure CF.
Calling your parts aero is incorrect if they are made for style with out real aero advantages, your splitter is the best one you have shown, the flares the worst by far but could be great if filled in properly where the aero aspect is missing.
As mentioned tie the splitter into the flares, cover the front of the tires, even better add some canards...now we have real aero
The "wing" extension will not generate much down force even if you filled in the top of the stock wing which creates to much turbulence that decouples the air when adding a lip, the steeper the angle the worse it will get. Only a real wing will do much good, I have looked into the extensively.
I will take a look at your "cup Spoilers", hopefully they are a properly designed aero part.
Why do I care, why so passionate, so outspoken? Because there are many less experienced that are prone to buy into misleading hype, go for style over substance, they need to know the truth so they can make better choices with their hard earned money that some companies go after.
Most sincerely,
Rick

^ Exactly this.
It's always the same thing with you; you need to come down off of that horse. Just because someone wants to add 'style' to their car doesn't make them inexperienced, believing hype, or making poor choices. If I or any other member wants to spend their hard-earned money on a 'style over substance' modification, that's our choice-not yours. It's ludicrous that you could be so condescending to everyone that doesn't treat this car like a race car, and I would think that with your 'wealth of knowledge' you would understand that 'because racecar' isn't the only reason to modify a car.
You're not 'passionate'-you're 'close-minded'. If you preferred blondes that wouldn't make every person that wanted a brunette 'inexperienced' or 'making poor choices' and every person that wanted a redhead 'believing the hype' or going for 'style over substance'. Grow up and get over yourself, there's a whole world of people out here that are not you and don't value what you value.

Calling it like it is, quote:
"Lastly, there really is no one making aero parts for the Fiesta aside from triple r and some ebay companies."
There are real wings and other real aero parts made for this car, most are a bit to race for the street but they are real.
Making aerodynamically degrading parts and calling them aero is what I am posting about, and saying nobody else makes them, truth in advertising???

High horse, seems you are familiar with that as well
We both are like that in a bit different ways, I will accept that, can you?

I was reading this post and showed it to my dad. He wants to buy you a beer.
You took the words right out of my mouth. It's my car and I will spend my hard-earned money however I choose.
RAAM, you sound like a VWVortex member making fun of folks for buying knockoffs. If there are real aero parts out there, go buy them and leave us that want styling alone.

..See my last post.
All I ask for is the truth and want to help those new to these things to know what real performance is, those wise enough to know but choose otherwise, that is fine with me as long as they do not try to convince others, otherwise, which I have seen a bit here on this great forum.
We have an incredible car to work with, making it slower in the name of style is what I do not get, but do as you will, as long as being truthful to yourselves and others

The more I look at the splitter the more I like it actually and the spoiler extension has merit, looks nice and if one seals off the top of the wing, as mentioned before, would make it actually do something good, not a lot of gain but not a loss so it is a real performance part if used properly Both of these parts do or have the potential to be the best aero parts for a street driven FiST so far.
