you're telling me lol.. im pretty anxious to see something made for our platform. it just threw me off that they measured the brz/frs first

especially considering the amount of Z's in that area...

I actually run mine 4 degrees nose high , and it still provides a ton of downforce with the airflow going over the Z. Cant wait to get my splitter finished and see if i can take some AOA away from the wing.

no real need to pay 1500 dollars for CF either. It aint gonna make that much of a difference.. and this wing wont turn yellow.
Just wish they sack it up and figure it all out.
too bad they dont make them any wider tho.. I could really use a 70+ wing.

try these..

http://www.origin-lab.com/main/produ...oiler/gt-wing/

if you have a "favorite shop" that gives you hook ups, the cost + small margin on these is really aggressive.. i think i was looking at like 699 if i paid cash for the 1700mm one. thier retail is still lower than APR, but still, you can get them cheap thru dealers on the low.. thats not MSRP etc lol.

they make 1650 mm version of the Voltex double element wing too.

I hear you tho, itd be nice not to have to build sh#t and go universal when someone would just make one straight up for our cars..

I wish I was stateside...maybe then I could get with a legit racing/fab shop....

You guys have so much at your disposable....over on NRR.com a guy built his own stands/riser and that's all you really need...

Returning this thread with a couple pics. I emailed the guy and asked if he had any other pics of em on a Z. I think he just had his buddies hold it there for me. I'm sold. Ordering one in the near future. Asked if they did group buy and he said no cuz they aren't a huge company. It's him and a friend that build and install after hours. Enjoy!

If you like them on FB they posted a pic of the first Z ever that is mounted. I wanted the award but oh well. It has the cut out brackets, I'm getting the solid brackets.
