    Thinking about it. Not a huge fan of the raised center section but it's better than the other 1g lips available.

    Well personally I prefer the raised center section think it looks great so it's perfect for me.

    I could spend alot of money on all of the retrospec products I think they make great stuff all around. Just need to talk to my boss about a raise first

    I also cant decide on the raised center section, they just released the 1g stealth version also. Cant wait to see it on an actual car to decide.

    Originally I wasn't fond of the raised center but having a 99 Skillard front splitter makes me appreciate how the raised center should allow more clearance for driveways. And my car only has Eibach springs so it's not lowered a ton.

    I hate the raised center section on all their lips. Some other platforms do the same thing and I can't stand it.

    Wow just looked at their site again and, as of last night, they have added a 2g stealth side splitter. I'm on the fence about it, wish they would take better pictures of these things lol.

    On cars without a flat under tray (like the 3S) you are better off choking off flow to the under body (what the front AA does along with a bit of venturi effect perhaps). On cars with a flat bottom and rear diffuser (like that Agera) you need to make sure that even under hard braking you dont choke off flow underneath or you will lose downforce. the raised center allows air to keep flowing under the car even if the edges get to close tot he ground and choke flow.
