Small wings are for looks only. If you want real downforce you need real wings, like the Reverie or APR.

The Exige wing is barely functionnal. The sleeker body, front spoiler and rear wing all account to 90lbs more down force than an Elise. So about 45lbs for the wing and 45 for the splitter (no idea what the body is worth). Anything that puts function over looks is gonna best that.
