Hi fellow car lovers, I am Paul. I am the other side of Hancha Group. I do all the aerodynamic development. Like Earl said, we are more than just a parts company, we are an engineering group. I thought I would pop in and show a little of what we can offer on the aerodynamic development side of things.
Our aerodynamic development is done using CFD. To do this, modeling is done using Creo Parametric (formally called Pro-Engineer). This is where the car model and various other aero bits are modeled. After this, the analysis is set up and solved. We use OpenFOAM as our cfd software which is ran off of Linux. All of our work is completely open to the customer.
We have already began some aero development on the BRZ/FRS/FT86. We have designed a single element wing (currently getting quoted). This work is shown below.

We can do more than just this also...
We have experience with development on race cars including open wheel cars, dragsters, and production based cars. Besides just race cars, we also have done some work with semis.

If you have any questions or a quote on some work, feel free to let us know.
Cheers,
