I have just ordered the Frog Venom rear spoiler/duck tail, it is modeled after the GT4 however this one will go up and down with speed.

I am considering this front lip spoiler from Techart, it is available directly from them or from Suncoast for basically the same pricing.

On my last track day I left on my center caps. The little teeth that grip the cap to the wheel have relaxed with the high heat and now the caps are loose. I simply inserted a roll of Teflon tape into the cap and heated them with a heat gun. When the cap had cooled I inserted it back into the wheel and it is once again a snug fit.

I realize this is not related to aero, more of a tips and tricks category but wanted this to have a wider view than the 718 sub-forum.

I have been able to mount the Frog Venom rear wing and find it to be visually a big improvement, still unclear is it will help with rear stability at speed. Will test that later

Have you mounted the splitter up front yet? The wing is really great looking and you should be ashamed of yourself because I thought I was almost done buying things. On second thought, don't post a picture of the splitter since I will likely want that also!
