I think he was demonstrating that it would not come off in your hand. Obviously the 3 bolts secure the bottom better than the single pushpin supports the top. .
No one is attacking you just making sure that incorrect information is clarified for those who are reading this thread and trying to learn.
I agree that dive plane may not be the best description, but I wouldn't write them off as ineffective yet. The video shows a clear angulation, and the end fencing or winglets are known to help increase the effectiveness of splitters and wings, hence why we see them on the ends of airplane wings and the sides of car wings/spoilers. The air on the edges tends to want to spill off the sides rather than being directed up and over the foil, so the winglets prevent the air from spilling off the sides and keeps it focused in the intended direction.
The GT500's are like that too though. I'm guessing they're probably designed like that to funnel air over the wheel well onto the fender and create the same affect as a canard without having as large of a drag penalty with stand alone canards flanking out of the fender.
I know there like that. I have compared the two. However after watching the install video of the 350 after market ones I didn't like the way they looked with that gap from certain angles of the car , particularly looking straight on from the side and even worse looking from a slight angle from the side into the front of the wheel well. Only way it looks pretty good to me is standing in front of the car , directly in front. Otherwise it looks cheap and flimsy to me now and once again looks like a part that doesn't belong. Just my opinion anyways.
Very much agree !
That would be more like what you see on a C6 Z06, those are designed to move the air out and around the notoriously turbulent wheel houses and don't contain the outer element that's perpendicular to the airflow.
