Default Quality built Rear Wing and Front Splitter

I'm graduating for 2010 . . . from purpose built track car to an upgrade, including rear wing and front splitter.

My car is a 1999 C5 with LS6 motor, full cage, fire suppression, Moton's with coil-overs, trans. and diff. coolers, accu-sump, Brembo's, Fiske's, Full race slicks . . . cool suit, etc.

It seems if I want to go a bit quicker through the corners, I need downforce. I'm not looking for the 'surface mount' wings . . . more similar to a World Challenge Wing, and full underbody splitter.

This post is about referral's: Please respond with information on WHERE to buy these parts, as well as pictures of your set-up, cost involved with your parts, and recommendations for a shop to do the work.

I live near Chicago, and am open to any and all suggestions.

I suggest you post this or search in the autocross/road race section.

I also posted this thread in the Road Racing section, and it seems far from easy and/or clear cut.

There is a great wing option from LG, including mounting hardware for a frame mount. I spoke with Anthony from LG, and I'm impressed with their engineering, quality and complete package.

ACP has a very nice nose/splitter and under-tray. There are other options out there, including a package from Blackdog Racing.

Once I complete my homework, I'll post the plan, and follow up pictures with results.
