If you are making your own mounts anyway why not get a bigger gt wing and fab your own chassis mounts? Can't be that much harder than making uprights.

yeah. figured the GM was going to be way up on the price. reason i suggested the Cwest as an alternative. understanding people won't geek out as much over it.
the WS might be the best bet then and I think it ties in really well with all the other aspects you are going for

^ yep this is true.. it picks up on the lines of the after-fedner thing from the stardast very well.. although i think the photoshop renders it a touch larger than it will be in real life.. this will help it stay classier too..

I can still drive it out for a drink or dinner here n there.

Definitely the # 7 Garage Mak GT Wing and the rear bumper! It goes really well with the widebody!!!! Maybe you can find another similar style GT Wing that's more economical?

The existing wing is fine.. But if def upgrading I like the webber(last pic)..either way it wont be bad.

Do luck rear is awesome, but must say, I do like the second pic there too. Car is aggressive enough I think you should consider it...what color you going for?

+1 to the Weber spoiler...but then again I am a bit biased

Just a heads up, and I don't know if it would affect you with your current hatch, but my rear-view mirror visibility is now cut in almost 1/2 with my Weber spoiler.

This is what I would watch with the tunnel hatch and weber.

I think the car need a Gt style wing. No necessary the Garagemak(which would be sick).

I am sure whatever one you pick will work. Get this baby done!! hahah

I don't like the duck wing near as much as one of those APR or Voltex wings.

But I do like that house/neighborhood!!

so i'm guessing you've passed up voltex as an option?




Hell, even this wing could be badazz and "different"

Duck Bills rock. Salad bars are for serious Highway riding. I wonder how the drag would feel between the 2....

car is barely even on the road either way, drag wont be an issue.. Voltex has been done before.. the weber and garage mak are fairly rare. and VOltex is just as spendy as Garage mak.

The only think I don't like about the duckbill is the way it extends forward over the tail lights. I think it would look better if you mold off those forward projections.
