Is the rear wing the wing they offered with their limited body kit? Looks to be a standard C5-R / C6-R wing from Pratt & Miller.

Most of the aftermarket body works are for show, not performance.

since I drive my car around the wonderful New Orleans streets
I am starting to wonder would I benefit more from the extractor hood or the splitter for better down force...from what I read the hood would be the best option for my case..
opinions?
EDIT: I have all the items to lower the car, I have to get rid of the wheel gap, maybe run coil overs before deciding on shock choices?
EDIT: again money is always a thought as usual lmao

My understanding is a splitter would require reinforcement to the front fasica so it does not droop. In turn, you may require a rear wing to balance things out.
An extractor hood doesn't provide downforce, but it negates lift. Therefore, the high pressure air underneath a standard hood creates lift. Allowing that air to escape eliminates/negates "lift" thus feeling better control/downforce. (Something like that.)

Here is my splitter from Aspis. Doesn't hang down as low as the ACI or ACP splitters so it's better for street driving than those. However, for an actual track application, the ACP is likely going to provide more downforce.

Thank you for clarifying, I just don't want the front to lift above 190 & from what I have read an extractor hood is the way to go
