Well... I'm quite sure it provides downforce at standstill. But then again, at zero MPH, all wings provide downforce equal to their weight.

Looks aside, a slotted flap, if well designed (a very big "if" in this case) improves downforce generation at low airspeeds, with very little drag cost. Could be worth looking into.

Looks not aside, that particular flap is fugly as hell.

I don't really mind it... not anymore than the other aftermarkets anyway.
