Wheel Deflectors

Front wheel deflectors attach to the OEM wheel well liner mounting points located inside the front fascia at the front of the wheel well opening of your Corvette. These deflectors mount at the lower attaching point where the wheel deflector meets the spoiler or splitter.

Front wheel deflectors are designed to push airflow around the rotating wheel more efficiently to reduce lift and drag. Front wheel deflectors are available in two designs. One with spats and one without spats.

Wheel deflectors with spats have an “L” shaped end that supports and braces the underside and the end of your spoiler or splitter.

Wheel deflectors without spats function the same, but the lower end does not fit under the spoiler or splitter and simply "butts against" the spoiler or splitter.

Front Canards/Winglets

Front canards are tall wings (think RPO Z07) or smaller winglets (think Z06 front splitter) attached to the front splitter or spoiler of your Corvette for the purpose of modifying the aerodynamic characteristics of your car.

The most common use of canards is to increase front downforce on Corvettes where the balance of traction is considered to be unfavorably biased towards the rear wheels. The canards, once installed, provide additional downforce at the front of the vehicle, adjusting the balance of traction and thus improving the handling characteristics of the car.

Side Skirts

Side skirts prevent lateral high pressure air from moving underneath your Corvette. The addition of side skirts also assists in re-purposing the air from behind the front wheels to create additional downforce and added vehicle stability.

Side skirts are somewhat similar in principle to splitters. As your Corvette reaches high speeds, air pressure builds up at the front of the car. A lot of this high pressure, low-speed air ends up underneath the car, and with only low pressure air above the car exerting itself on top, the car experiences lift, causing the front of the car to lighten up. This results in reduced traction on the road. Side skirts also help reduce unwanted paint damage from rocks and other road or track debris.

Side Vents

Side vents can be seen behind the front or rear wheels, allowing for airflow to exit the wheel wells which typically remains turbulent from the rotation of the wheels. These can also be used to channel out hot air from the engine bay or direct cool air to the brakes.

Rear Diffusers

A rear diffuser is a portion of the rear end shaped to create a location of increasingly larger air volume below the rear of your Corvette that reduces turbulent airflow. This allows for fast-moving, low pressure air underneath the car to accelerate and expand at the rear of the vehicle.

The diffuser helps to accelerate the air underneath the car which reduces its pressure and improves downforce.

Rear Spoilers & Wings

Spoilers and wings are different than the other handling adjustment tools for several reasons.

• The magic of a spoiler or wing is that they produce a load on the tires, which translates to increased cornering speeds.
• Stronger acceleration out of the corner without wheel-spin.
• The downforce produced by the wing increases with vehicle speed and therefore the speed of the air over the wing increases. However, this creates a concurrent increase in aerodynamic drag that slows the car's straight line speed but greatly improves cornering speeds.

Rear Wicker

Wicker Height: These spoilers can be changed rapidly to tune the aero of a wing, with larger wickers generally giving more downforce.

Wicker Span: On wings it is common for wickers to not run the entire length of the wing. As the span (or width) is reduced, the effectiveness or downforce of the wicker will also be reduced, however the drag and turbulence created by the wicker is reduced. Because of the large impact of front end turbulence on the flow over the car and to the rear wing, a smaller/ narrower wicker does sometimes produce more overall downforce than a larger one.

NACA Ducts

These air scoops are designed to have minimal impact on airflow over the top of your Corvette while still creating an inlet for airflow. They can be used in nearly any application that requires airflow to enter the engine bay for cooling. Whether that's feeding an air intake, a radiator or even cooling for a driver.
