Installing Vortex Generators on Acura ILX

Model: Acura Ilx MK 1 - Years 2013-2022
Part: Body

Vortex generators are a component of the aerospace industry used to delay flow separation. A different type of VG is also used on race cars to generate aerodynamic downforce. On a production car, it consists of a row of fins, typically located at the rear of the vehicle, to help it slip through the air more efficiently. They can be purchased on Amazon. A 6-piece kit costs $33.95. It is a very popular accessory in the USA, while it is still relatively unknown in Italy. The installation process is very simple: after thoroughly cleaning the roof of the vehicle, align them with body shop tape and a measuring tape to the phone antenna, as shown in the video. Adhere them to the roof of the vehicle using double-sided tape. Very simple.
