I like the looks of this, I saw one on the road with this installed and it looked great on the car.
Obviously it will be different airflow over the rear window and onto the Z-51 spoiler.
Has anyone installed this and how do you like it?
3% more downforce is very marginal but perhaps the rear window might stay cleaner, I do not know how rain and moisture is affected either.
Stock coupes, the water rolls right off, I assume this will be similar.

I am interested in the Paragon Vortex Generator as well, but have concerns. Does the 3M tape bond well enough to keep it firmly and safely in place in high and low temperatures? Will the bond stand up to the jarring impact of our springtime pot holes? Will it discolor over time? Anyone have answers?

It’s $199, just buy it and if it discolors or whatever in 2 years, buy a new one.

its nothing but a cosmetic mod.. it won’t help you with anything but look cooler for you.

The same thing for a WRX is less than half the price. https://parts.subaru.com/p/Subaru__/...751SVA000.html

Is the plastic 120% better on the Paragon one?

I am usually the type of guy who encourages people to customize their car however one desires but feel this cheap looking junk needs to stay on a WRX or Civic. Our Corvettes are way too nice for this Autozone stick on junk. 3m tape is seriously strong so if you must just prep with rubbing to remove any wax and stick it on. Most 3m VHB tape is pressure sensitive meaning the harder you press the more sure it becomes.
