Now THIS is wing
The owner ran it at the SCCA autox nationals SSM class, so he needs it.

looks like a APR GT-II wing with custom end caps and a gurney flap.

I agree on the APR call. You could call Rick at Ciro Design: 949-453-8292. He's one of their distributors and he can arrange for custom endplates and uprights if you'd like.

the duke probably fab'd it himself. others more knowledgeable will chime in, i'm sure (mitch?)

mmm… I doubt it was intentionally left open. I would image keeping the hood closed shut would help keep stiffen the chassis. If I had a choice, I’d rather keep the heat and have a stiffer chassis than a loose chassis with a cooler engine bay.

I don't have any pictures handy, but they're essentially a length of one inch "tall/outward" firm plastic (the same firm plastic that is used on the front airdam) attached to the leading edge of the wheelwell. Due to the slightly outward/round shape of the bodywork from the parking lights to the wheelwell, the air is moving slightly outward in addition to backward. I'm just trying to kick it (the air) out a touch more to get some additional low pressure in the wheelwells.
