Rear wing and Front Splitter?

Should I add a rear wing and front splitter to my car to give me added traction at high speeds?

Please, your car doesn't see 'high speed' sitting on red carpet. You've waited this long, don't go all rice now.

Hey Colt its been a while,but on the subject I'd say stay away from the wing, as for the splitters, they might look good, or they might not fit your cars set up being that it'll just look like your adding too much. Photochop it, see if you like the way it looks first

maybe I will, should help with added traction due to the added down force at the front of the car.

At 60mph, you can add at least 1.567 down force units.

No but if you add that wing in addition to the splitter, @60mph you can bump up to 2.165 down force units

True, but the grease tends to lower your downforce units.
