Gurney flap for stock rear wing?

[Dus10R]

Has anybody come across any carbon fiber gurney flaps that can be added to the stock rear wing? They work really well at increasing downforce with very minimal drag. I want to increase downforce a little front and back but I want to make it as unobtrussive as possible for right now. I'm still searching for a method to increase front downforce unobtrussively, but will probably have to make something of my own design unless I can find a lower lip with small canards at the sides. I would swap over to a GT2 kit but my wife isn't sold on the boy racer looks.

Only thing I have seen is complete blade replacements...TechArt, Strosek, Gemballa

Sort of a shame, gurney flaps are really inexpensive and yield a high amount of downforce and actually reduce drag. Most replacement wings I have seen just increase the angle of attack, so they do produce more down force but at the cost of drag. A really simple carbon fiber gurney flap on the trailing edge of the airfoil chord, aprox 1.25 - 1.5% of the chord width (wing width from leading edge to trailing edge) would do wonders in improving the rear downforce while reducing the drag coeffecient at the same time. I wish I had carbon fiber skills and an autoclave, I would make one myself. They are avialable to buy but most of them are straight across and wouldn't fit the stock turbo wing correctly.

You could see if the one for the Turbo Aerokit spoiler fits?

Didn't know such an animal existed, thanks.
