Default N1 Andy's new wing, let the hating begin...

I just put this wing on my car, its a veilside wing I bought from airbag club, I fabricated all the brackets and mounting hardware, and purchased the heim joints and quick release pins from artmorrison.com, the heims are lh and rh thread so you can adjust downforce with a few quick turns. The quick release pins were used so you can still open the trunk I need to find nicer brackets for the support rods to the trunk, the ones on there are just temporary. I would post this in the RR/AutoX forum but I am curious to see how lame you guys think it looks. either way I think its gonna stay, I like it haha. Just wanted some insight, flaming is welcome, I know big wings are not everyones thing lol.






heres one incase you were wondering whats under the hood

one more of the wing I took off in favor of the boeing wing the c-west...

looks a bit flimsy with the heim joints. u should consider getting some thicker supports and trunk mounts

it "looks" dumb, but it doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it serves it's purpose.

what size are your SSR's?

im on a mission to find more stout trunk mounts, those are just temp, its pretty solid though in person, the only thing that moves around a bit are the quick release pins, but once there is wind on the wing im sure they dont move. thanks for all the feedback guys.

Hopefully that's not your daily driver, because IMO, that's way too extreme to be driving every day. But if it's just your track car and it actually serves a purpose, then
