Pics of my 3D Airfoil, aka a Wing
 
THANKS TO
Evasive Motorsports for great customer service and fast shipping

Auto Glo (AUTOGLO Collision Center) for a great install, professionalism, and great pricing. This is definitely a great body shop. Ask for Kevin.

And to Mike (here on the forums) for recommending Auto Glo.

APR for making such a great quality wing. The carbon fiber weave is perfect.


Well guys I install a wing on my car and I love it. It is a APR GTC 200 universal wing. The stands are mounted 29 1/2'' apart with a wingspan of 59 1/2'' and height of 8 1/2'' to the highest point. So I'd say it's a conservative wing but still very funtional. I have just started to track so even then this will still serve a great purpose in my learning experience.

Just today going home on the interstate at 55mph I could more than tell it was there. The car felt so more planted, especially when switching lanes. Then at 85mph it was just that much more. I couldn't only imagine at 120mph would it would be like. Or just having a bigger wing and what they do.

I hope you guys like. Enjoy. I still have love for the haters too. :tup:

And the view out the rear. This pic was taken at eye level. You can see very little of the bottum side of the wing. So it's defiantly not obstructing your view.

You can still see backwards in the mirror, that is always a plus.

TopElement 10-17-2011 08:24 PM

Looks super rice for a street car, but it's useful on track.

May want to dial back the aoa, a bit too steep!

SPOHN 10-17-2011 09:04 PM

Ok guys, about the end plates making the wing look like it had a hole bunch of AOA in it. The end plates were on backwards. Damn I want to slap myself. Funny thing no one elso saw it either. My GF pointed it out. Rep to her.
