looks awesome so far. the meatyness of those tires is impressive and should look fantastic under the new fenders.

when is the eta on the kit?

k so im in a toss up.. not sure which way to go tbh.

Its apparent after trying one million and six different rear bumpers that the do luck blends the best.

now the toss up is that i also no longer think my current wing fits the build.

We will have to see in person.. and Im not buying anything until the build starts to take shape a bit more..

but heres my options:

Existing wing:

I think the weber sports duckbill would look sick but I have a hardon for gt wings like the garage mak. tough choice man but it comes down to those two for me.

I'd say for more of a track build the gt wing and for more of a street build the weber sports duckbill.

Same thoughts, exactly. I like the do work choice, they're grade-A.

Either one's fine, but I don't think your current wing flows correctly with the new lines/style.

You need to put numbers beside the pictures lol.

I say # 7 by far! Wing/kit flows much better.


Also, I like Garagemak's black uprights more than the ones in the pic. Just IMO

Don't worry about the swagger jacking. This build is $$$$

yeah it realy doesnt.. luckily its a very rare wing as well and people always try to buy it from me, so ill just jack up the price a touch from retail since theres no shipping wait time and logistsics night mare and call it a day.. a used ferarri costs more than a new one for the same reason.. its available today lol.

JP fr bumper.. for sale lol
ams gt rear bumper.. for sale..

wing.. most likely for sale.

Yal should see my garge btw... fkn ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD of CAR PART BONES lol.

I like the weber wing alot, but the GT Wing suits the over all look better. The C-West GT wing might be another option, price wise - dunno . Don't know the pricing on any of the GT wings, but it is a sexy wing as well.

well im certainly not copying another kit.. nor will i do so by buying a 9,000.00 dollar wing.. so thats ^ out the door lol.

Do luck bumper isnt a question, was just showing what we did w trial and error.

Im leaning towards the Weber due to cost and overall blend of the lines of the car for now.. and ive always liked the LB 458.. and thats kind of the idea I liked in the first place..

gah!!!

Landed price for this Garage Mak wing is insane.. if i did the all CF solid uprights one, its even more insane lol..

Price for the Type 2 and the duckbill piece is just about 3000.00 after shipping and customs fees etc.

Price for the weber is like 795 lol..
