anyone got trouble/ tickets with APR GT wings
 

UPDATE: No one yet tell me what police will do when they pass your car or go behind your car with the big GT on (ings+1 , voltex japan, APR gtc ......., NOT nismo wing cause they look too stock + original)
Here is how it look on my car , i really love the way it look.. So cool, beside that i dont care about performance. i did not race and never exceed 70 mhp on high way.
I do obey traffic law (next mod is HKS exhaust , state require maximum 95 db of noise, so let make it ~ 93, hope HKS will give me a certification for that)

The wing width span did not excess car width, sure it cause a lot of attention from people around.
RICER ? well it is not that expensive . 1k3 is what i paid for the wing. I have dream about this wing since tokyo drift movie came out so got it anyway.

Cheer Guys. I will let you guys know if something happen.


got my APR GTC-300 wing last week and cant imagine it was too big :happydance::happydance:

Have any members got trouble with police about big GT wing ? is it legal to put one on ? I read somewhere the law require a clear view on rear window (actually the wing dont do anything with the view) . The definition of "clear" is ...:gtfo2:
police can just simply give a ticket (or warn if he honest),you sign it and he just walk away :eek:,

I doubt they can, or would.

Never heard of it either, but it will attract way more attention, so if anything else is less legal, expect to be pulled over

7-10mm spacers on the rear and wider tires.

I doubt that's his car btw...

oh... in that case, the front looks like sedan bubble sidewall tires. lol

I'm guessing the cop may be laughing too hard to write a ticket. Just my opinion.

or you could pull back hard on the yoke and liftoff..... They'll never catch you.

I never did. Couldn't see it through the rear window. It won't stand up to more than 155 mph on a banked oval though. Mine cracked at both the upright mounting points.

sure its not my car :inoutroflpuke: , i am still....... finding a way to remove the plastic on the trunk, and drill the hole

Mike, what track did you brake it on?

Btw, from my knowledge, you only need 2 functioning mirrors. So as long as you don't hack the side mirrors off, you can legally block the entire rear window and you'd be legal

That depends on what state he lives in. ;)

i live in houston, texas :tiphat:

tow truck usually got the tow equip that nearly block the rear, and also a lot of minivan have no rear mirror at all (even if have i doubt about its use).

There is a differance between what is required from truck/van vs car in some states. I don't know what is required in Texas.

Could you stand on this wing like a kognition?

That's a wimpy wing. Now this is a wing! You can even sit on it at a tail gate party!

Put a gun rack on any part of your vehicle in Texas and it will pass.

Daytona

I was afraid you were going to say that, what wing are you running now? My GTC-300 arrives today but I guess I'm not running it at Daytona:shakes head:

OP, I hope you're planning on a lot of track time to justify that kind of wing.

only ticket to look out for is a ricer ticket for excessive wing

Mike you should have had this wing with the guy wires for more support.

off toppic, but been wondering how that werd ricer came about? :confused:... sure i read the difinition in urban slang dictionary and on wikipedia.

I don't know exactly, but in the early '60's when Japanese motorcycles like Honda and Yamaha were becoming big in the US, the riders of "other" motorcycles derisively referred to them as "rice burners." I'd guess something along similar lines.

Urban Dictionary: ricer

:rofl2:

Is that an MGB?

Anyone know the guy with the gtc 500? It has a higher speed rating but not made for a 370.

Sure looks like the rear end of one.. I dunno, I robbed it off the web.

GTC 500? Hmmm have to look that up.

This guy

I now have the aeromotions. It has an aluminum core

That is Mike's. Bullet370 or something like that.

hey mike.Do You got any problem with the wing destroy your car hatch(trunk) during driving ? it did not stick so well to the hatch and i dont want to glue it (have to take it off on windy days to avoid so being blow away :happydance:..........:gtfo2:)

Wait- did you just say the only thing holding that wing to your car is tape? It's not a tiny little spoiler where you can do that. Install it right or take it off. If you taped it on it'll either end up stolen or through the windshield of the car behind you. Please tell me I read your post wrong.

Bro, no joke, I have ALWAYS loved big a$$ wings on sports cars. Not sure why either.

With that said, I love your wing. Hopefully it doesn't get you too much heat from the 5-0!

It needs to be bolted to the hatch, and yes, I had a problem. In addition to the wing cracking, the skin of the hatch also cracked at the mounting bases. Can't really see it but its at the back end of the mounts, inboard. Both sides had 1" cracks in the aluminum hatch skin.

To fix it with the new wing, we bonded steel plates onto the hatch to spread the load of the downforce out a bit and prevent a repeat occurance.

thanks Mike. That is exactly what i can imagine.

But i dont track, i never exceed 70 on high way, so hope the wing wont create big downforce to destroy the hatch

I am fortifying the hatch, i mean i glue the base and Pedestals together , then mount it to hatch ( i would like to glue it too i addition to bolt) , then add 1 level big of aluminum/ steel plates underneath the hatch, then bolt it ?
Your steel plate is very good ideal, but the hatch is destroy because you track right ? does it cause by going through bump on street ?

i thought this was a troll post.......

Your not going to have a problem at 70mph on the street, his broke on the banks of Daytona at 155mph under high Gs and you wont get anywhere near that kind of force on it.

I sell very expensive windows designed to stand up to hurricanes and we use a glazing material to hold the glass it that is just amazingly strong. I'm filling in the areas behind the hoods skin and the brace with it to try to stiffen it up. This stuff is incredibly hard to cut or remove when dry but I don't know where you would get it outside of the business.

what he said! Also, I can't tell you about on the street, as my car is not a street car anymore.

On mine, to attach the steel plates, the body shop used panel bond in addition to the bolts. Its the same stuff they attach roofs to vehicles with.
