id like to say go troll elsewhere, but youre absolutely right. living in socal half my life, coming up here was like transitioning from t.he autobahn to the truck lane. average highway speed here? 55. PFFFFTWTF it is pretty here though i must admit. i do prefer Seattle though.

im sure they're just getting measurements. they do not have specially made mounts and stands yet for our cars. wouldnt doubt that theyll probably throw a universal one on to see what it looks like. im anxious!

Will be installing it when it's ready. Tonight's not gonna work out for Colin so we re-scheduled for Tuesday next week, will keep everyone updated on the progress and post pics.

You should bring out the M3, it would look great on there!!

If I was gonna track it a lot, I could justify a big a$$ wing and I probably would get one. Maybe for the E30 one day.

I would love to see the aero testing and specs on the wing before i put somemthing like thta on my car.

How much drag , at what speed, how much downforce and at different AOA's.

They came out and measured the cars this past Friday. They're working on designing the mounting bases next.

This isn't the wing for you then. Maybe look into the Kognition or Aeromotions wings.

thanks for the update sir. i'm hoping they have a cool mount like they do for the FC. at

any rate, this wing seems to be targeted more towards the appeal of a wing rather than performance. im sure it works, but to what extent we will not know unless it's tested.

I had a chance to meet with the owners of BCL on Friday, great guys for sure and they told me that they will have something available for purchase once they get everything worked out

For right now no other testers are needed

im hitting them up to see what they can offer for just the wing blade itself w no mounts or stands.. Ill make my own. I just need a cheaper option for a huge wide wing and i dont care if its CF or not.

i actually emailed them last night for updates. apparently, whoever volunteered brought their FRS in first for measurements, so they have yet to measure our platform yet.

I think I saw pictures of the FR-S wing on Facebook one day. It looked pretty legit.
