some great info on here, i have a VT wagon in my fleet and have been looking at different things to help aero, i have already fitted a VX SS front end to get the bumper closer to the ground and deflect air around the front wheels better

also the rear spoiler on Adventra wagons looks to me to be better for aero than the standard VT-VZ wagon one, thoughts?

Adventra:


VT Wagon:


of course the roof racks, increased ride height and flares would cancel out any benefits of the spoiler but it would be interesting to see a comparison between the 2 spoilers
