Adding an aluminum wing to a street-driven ride is usually done for mostly aesthetic reasons, and can look great when paired with an equally stylish Kia Forte body kit. For those who drive their vehicles aggressively, an aluminum wing will add downforce and traction to the rear tires, often resulting in quicker lap times at the track. If you're serious about extracting the most performance out of your ride, we think that trying out an aluminum wing might help you out.

Adding a performance Kia Forte aluminum wing to your ride will not only make it look fast standing still, it will help it back up those looks with greater stability on the road and on the track. While not as light as carbon fiber wings, aluminum Kia Forte wings are more cost effective for the most part. Many of the more costly aluminum wings have been engineered for high speed conditions, with adjustable turnbuckles and height adjustments. These functions can come in handy since there is such a thing as too much downforce, especially when it comes to front wheel-drive vehicles.

Q: How do you install an aluminum wing?
A: Aluminum wings need to be bolted into the rear trunk of your car. This involves drilling holes into your trunk, and then bolting the wing securely to your trunk.

Q: Do aluminum wings offer any performance benefit? Why purchase one?
A: Aluminum wings are often bought as a cosmetic upgrade designed to enhance the look of your car; however, they also have a very specific role in aerodynamics. Aluminum wings diffuse airflow over the top half of the car and at the trailing edge of the wing. The wing can keep airflow from tumbling and creating a swirling vortex behind the car. This is important when dealing with drag and lift.
