The second product in Sierra Composites new motorsport parts aerodynamics line. Carbon fiber front wheel well lip downforce spoilers for race and tuned street cars. Used to fine tune a cars front aerodynamics to give more front downforce, they redirect airflow to the front wheels as well as create more surface area for airflow to push downforce on. Initially used to gain an advantage under certain racing rules regulating chassis width. However they do work and were successfully used on the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR as seen in photos below.


When rules allowed these to be molded into the race car front chassis they were, see the ALMS P2 Lola Mazda photo below:

Carbon fiber wheel well lip spoilers have been used in several racing series throughout the years, including German DTM, Austrailian touring cars, Grand Am prototype / GT, ALMS prototype GT, etc.

New! Carbon Fiber Dive Planes / Front Bumper Canards / Aerodynamics

Just released from Sierra Composites! Our new SC Aero GT3 carbon fiber front dive planes, also sometimes incorrectly called bumper canards. Sierra Composites has fabricated custom race dive planes for years, but this is the first time we have developed a race style dive plane that can also be used on a street car, are universal fit and are not race car parts prices. A simple google search will give all kinds of results for “dive planes” or “bumper canards”, however these parts are either cheap plastic with maybe a carbon fiber thin insert for looks but sold funny enough as carbon fiber. Or aluminum parts covered with “carbon fiber”, or cheap polyester / fiberglass imitation parts. Most of these imitation dive planes also have many types of fasteners showing over the surfaces, have mounting areas that are just too small, and have no proper way of securing them to your car. Overall they are just not practical dive planes.
Details on the SC Aero GT3 carbon fiber dive planes can be found on our store website www.sierracomposites.com
