Body Kits/Body Designs

So here's the thing, I want to do something for a front wing for my '06. I've looked into kits and such, but I've never done anything like that on any cars. What are some suggestions? I don't want to completly change the way it looks, but I want to get a little more downforce to the front tires, and I want to do this before looking into getting a rear Wing. I've driven other peoples cars (not Nissans) that have had some extensive body work done, including a front wing/lip and a drag spoiler and I can tell how different they truly drive. Anyone done body work with thier Sentra's?

to me it looks like a lip would give you very minimal effect, have you lowered your sentra? lowering her will decrease wind going under the body, and a front sway would help keep her nose down/stiff in turns. motor mounts will help with wheel hop.

talking body kits, most don't actually have much down force on the nose, the weight of the engine usually keeps a car's nose down, most full racing kits just fill the space between the front bumper and the street. it usually increases wind resistance(very little), but decrease lift from air under the body.

it will be hard to add something that wouldn't dramatically change the front end, but actually give you real down force on your nose...

that's kinda what i was figuring, I have started looking into engine mounts, and my next BIG purchase is going to be adjustable shocks.

you could always shift your weight a little, you wouldn't want to do it too much or your tail would break lose to easy... but if you did little things, like remove the back seat and put equal to its weight in your nose... possibly the spare tire and jack.

adjustable shocks would help greatly, you could just tune it to your own specs.
