Default aluminum wing

There was a post somewhere ealier about aluminum wings, I searched for it and I think it got deleted or something. Anyway, I was wondering where I can get a good performance wing? I'm looking at some for the track and I want to make it detachable for the street. I'm also welding in supports on the trunk so I dont have any wobble at higher speeds. So now that you know what I'm doing and going to use it for, anyone know where to get a good one? *I need the rear one mainly for breaking and downforce around corners* People who want to flame, JUST DONT POST. People who have info, please post!

Just a warning, I see lots of cars driving around with their wings removed. This leaves them with supports on their trunk which look very odd without a wing.

I'm planning on taking out the bolts from the underside of the trunk and putting in rubber plugs where the wing is. I'm sure I can do it I've modified alot of body parts in my day.

But you mentioned welding on the supports, that's what I was referring to.

i doubt you'll be able to find any valid companies on the internet with all the crap there is out there. (i just spent a few minutes looking myself) if i were you, i'd pick up an issue of grassroots motorsports and look through there. you could probably find a few companies that make them, or if not call a couple of the "real" race shops listed in there and ask them. but i think if you really want this you'll either have to make it your self or have someone do it custom for you. oh and i found a better pic of the Realtime car by the way:
