a box of wood screws a 3 2x4 build yourself a wing and bolt it to the car.
Why do you need more down force? Are you racing or is this for a DD?

Regardless you're honda or any street car you have isn't capable of going fast enough to need extra downforce.

Ricer Bullshit.

Generally I agree with most of the previous posts...if you have a daily driver there is no reason/need for more downforce...however if you do still seek decent answers...I seriously would suggest another website or google because you won't find a serious answer from here ever for something like this and I'm not saying this to be an *******...it's just the truth..

the vents in a saleen S7 provide more down force that the car actually weighs...so in theory you could drive the car upside down, just a littl info for you guys...as far as down force in a honda especially a dd there is no need...not to mention tat putting a huge erector set wing on the back or your front wheel drive car is useless...think about this your creating down force on the rear which is doing what, creating lift on the front of the car where your drive wheels are so you are essentially making an unsafe car...simple physics

Go tell that to all the guys in the road race forum that spend roughly $2,000 on their functional wings...

If you want real answers about this stuff go ask the guys in the Road Race/Autocross forum. OP, I'm not talking to you because you have already proven yourself to be and idiot that THINKS he needs downforce for going 85 mph around a freeway interchange with a limit of 55.

I think that the OP should post his question in GDD, that's where he'll get the best answers.

Yeah, saleens have that kind of downforce, but not car needs downforce under 100mph.

A saleen is actually capable of utilizing good aerodynamic features.

An econobox? No.
