Default Hoods that help with downforce

Are there any hoods you can buy for our cars that aid or help in downforce on the front end? I'm not 100% convinced that splitters or canards do much to help with that. A hood that can do it would be better off and stronger than some flimsy piece of plastic or carbon fiber under the bumper.

You'll be hard pressed to find *any* aftermarket hood these days, let alone one designed for downforce, for an RD. Good luck but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

If you are not convinced that splitters do work then go buy a book about aerodynamics !!!
