Sticker,
Have you tested this wing on the Elise at high speed? Without adding downforce to the front of the car this wing may unbalance the car at speed. Most Elise drivers aren't into show.

I ask this because a track I drive a lot has a turn where you brake from 130 mph to about 44 mph. The Elises balance and aerodynamics are very well tuned by Lotus and more down force in the rear would upset this.
