Default Best bang for your buck wing?

I'm looking for something like this: http://mynismo.com/images/?id=6760

But with a lower price range. Doesn't have to carbon fiber, I'm just looking for something that will give good downforce. I'm actually interested in using this for performance, I know wings start working above 60MPH, as far as I know. But anyone have a good reccomendation for a good price? I'd like to spend $200-400 at most.

Any ideas for something that's actually functional? I want a wing like the one I showed above, so we don't have to paint it. I personally think it looks cool too. (Most people disagree... but I don't care. Lol.)

Thanks!

It's functional. but for $200-400, you're gonna be looking at alunimum or ABS plastic knock off wings. you get what you pay for..

check Ebay for "GT wing" or "Touring Wing"

most CF wings start from the used market around $800+

Like I said, it doesn't have to be CF at all, in fact I'd prefer it to not be CF, as that fades really easy in the sun.

If you don't want CF remember to consider the weight of a spoiler that large and the effects it will have on the rear hatch with the added downforce it will provide as well as the struts when you go to lift up the hatch.

thats if you don't take care of it.. spray an layer of UV coat.. you're fine..

MethodRN's got the good idea too. its going to be more heavy with an aluminum one too.



here you go.
