Default Carbon Fiber Lift Kit for OEM Wing? Makes it sit higher & More Angled... Anyone seen this before?

I ran across this today. Seems to be a lift kit of some sorts. Just wondering if anyone has seen it... or what they think of it. Let the discussion begin

They are pretty pricey too. Going for about $230.

Looks extremely effective if you ask me, especially if it tilts it forward which it looks like it does.

Never have seen these before today though, good find. Stop ignoring my PMs.

Damm, I remember this in 1994 when I was 1st. time send to Japan for business training and thought it was pathetic but it end up to be a FIA WRC thing before Toyota got DQ for life.

I don't think I could bring myself to put that on my caR. I'm sure its effective, but makes it too high and a bit ricey for my tastes.

Funny because I know I'd get everyone asking me for set if I put a set on my R, except for you of course... Scott will jump the wagon with me.

I doubt that would do anything for downforce, and a whole lot for drag.

I don't know....

It has definately changed the angle of the wing......

I wonder if there was any wind tunnel testing behind it.....

I'd be willing to bet that it has changed the amout of downforce the stock wing produces.....

It also may not look as bad, if they were painted to match....
