A quick answer to this question is yes! \u00a0The majority of carbon fiber aero parts that RW Carbon<\/a> carries actually add real aerodynamic characteristics to your car. \u00a0When most people think of aerodynamics, they think less\u00a0resistance applied to\u00a0their car at a high of speed, while engineers will think of it in terms of a coefficient of drag. \u00a0This is not always the case when it comes to all\u00a0aero carbon fiber parts.<\/p>\n

Some\u00a0parts like trunk lid spoilers and front lip spoilers can even increase the amount of drag that is applied to the car. \u00a0However, this is a the kind of drag all racers yearn to have,\u00a0and that is\u00a0downforce. \u00a0Downforce is a downwards thrust created by the aerodynamic characteristics of a car. \u00a0The purpose of downforce is to allow a car to travel faster through a corner by increasing the vertical force on the tires, thus creating more grip. \u00a0Plain and simple, downforce adds weight to your car, which helps to increase traction when you are pushing your car to its limits.<\/p>\n

As engineers are creating these beautifully shaped carbon fiber aero pieces, they constantly have aerodynamics in mind. \u00a0 Many of these engineers that create carbon fiber aero pieces for every day cars like Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have their roots in the racing industry. \u00a0Each piece from splitters to roof spoilers<\/a> are shaped to create the perfect balance of downforce, while still keeping the car aerodynamically stable. \u00a0Not to say that all carbon fiber aero parts are balanced perfectly, but the majority of high end pieces are designed with looks and full functionality in mind.<\/p>\n
