Long story short..

My cars flat black, and so shal be the wing.. I dont feel like paying another 1500 bucks for a shiny carbon wing that will simply be wrapped or painted.

Im looking for a 60-70" true functional Airfoil style wing.
Fiberglass or aluminum to save cost over the APR.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

They can do a matt finish on a carbon wing... considering you have some really really nice parts on your build I would kill me to see a not so nice wing on your set up.

 

nah id leave it carbon so its resaleable. I ahve a big roll of this black vinyl still, id just wrap it..
going for the Rauh Welt look, so its going to get tacked onto the ends of my Elia WRX wing.. if I buy a used GT500 the stanchion holes will be too narrow..





APR says they can build em however i want i guess..

I jst saw someone is selling a GT500 here tho.. but he had a typo, looks like its only a 300.. wants 1300 for it still.. haha.. some ppl.

new gt500 is 1500, i guess thats what Ill have to do unless someone knows of a f-glass version.

 

Just talked to a friend and he got this. A custom dry carbon fiber GT wing from Kognition.

 

gee that sounds cheaper than 1500 bucks lol ^^^^
they are the same price basically .
I dont want/need too much downforce or ill snap my mouting points.. its not going to be metal to metal.

 

Kognition is good. have you looked at Aeromotions wings?

 

dude.
those are 4 thousand dollar wings.
the static is half the proce of the active.. so thats 2000.

Im starting to think 1500 to APR is not such a bad idea.

 

Try to find a used wing here or even other forums. EVO/STI/S2K. Just need mounting brackets if that.

 

Cwest makes aluminum wings that aren't bad.

 

Something to think about, although I would just wait until something comes up in the used market and go with the APR.

cough**Megan*cough

 

Fulcrum wings, try them.


APR used to make a fibreglass wing, they discontinued it 6 months ago. Why do you want a 500 wing vs a 300 wing?

 

found this today: gtc 500 used for $995

because my car is 4 inches wider in back than a regular Z.. would look retarded going w a small element wing IMO.





found a sweet deal..
Originlab makes some pretty killer looking wings.

HUGE sizes too.

1605mm 1700mm and 1755 mm, so thats just under 70 inches. Pretty cool.


HUGE mounts are available at no extra charge, sounds like they keep a fair amount in stock too.

retail on the 1755 mm carbon fiber wing complete is 860.. can likely do far better thru my local shop that is already a dealer for them etc.
Actually, i just found the link here.. sweet. Well here ya go.

Thank all, figured id leave what i found on here for anyone else who may read the thread.

good thread tho, lots of good stuf to ponder for sure. Since i only need the wing element, Origin looks pretty much the way Ill go.

 

Do they make 350 specific mounts? Let me know what you find out.

I'd rather have a Voltex or C-West but the wait would be killer.

 

I'd look at Kognition...they offer up to a 78" span. You are going to want to mount a wing with that much surface area to the frame. It WILL bend the metal on your hatch if you just mount it on the surface, and possibly break off all together.

 

in for updates

 

Ill ask them tomorrow, but getn said they used it on a 350z w no issues ..and founded like he REALLY did it..versus someone just saying " oh yes it fit 350z fo you".. engrish.

its still just a fun car..not a race car.. but the bending thing certainly makes me curious. Its a steel hatch.. im sure adjusting for non max downforce may help? Dunno..I guess ill have to look into that..larger mounting pedestals would help w that.
