Unless you have a multimillion dollar windtunnel and a proper engineering/fabrication department, you're just a punk poseur trying to look like a JGTC/DTM/Whatever touring car.
Hopefully a simple splitter up front and boxing in the rear end will reduce the lift up front and rear that I wont need anything ugly or insane.
ya, i'm pretty sure that'll do the trick.
a guy made his own and spent a lot of time configuring them for his swapped hatch a few years ago. lap times stayed the same (or got a touch slower) and his top speed on straights was reduced by a few. more applicable to your car than a miata since it had some power, but still not very much relatively, and it is a lightweight.
