Default Where can I find a Carbon Fiber EK wing?

Does anyone know where I could find one of these? Similar to the duckbill EG wing? I can't afford the Spoon one, and I am sick of my type R one. I know this is sort of an appearance type thing, but some of those guys in that forum are wack.

There wer some floating around for a little bit for around 225...I think Newman knows about a group buy that someone had a little bit ago....

BTW, were you going west on the 78 freeway on Friday? Around 2:30 or so?
Think I saw a car that looked like yours.

Did you not read my post? I didn't post in the cosmetic forum because I think they are real lame in there. They talk about Altezza lights and other silly *** stuff. Okay, let's just say for argument sake that this topic is technical, in the fact that a carbon fiber wing will not only add to my downforce, but it will in addition be lighter. This will be less weight for my motor to push. Thanks for the help.

if you want to spend the $$$ get a spoon duckbill. http://www.inlinefour.com you can get good replicas that basically are the same (quality might be a little less)

I did have a group buy a couple of months ago... sold them for $225 each, but I got mine for under $200
AFTER the group buy, everyone and their mother is now asking me for a wing, but I can' t get them as easily right now.

Arospeed makes cf duckbills for the EK's. I dunno how much they are tho or how their fitment and finish is. Someone had some complaints about the EG duckbill they got from jdmhp.com. The holes apparently didn't line up and the edge of the wing was really rough cut. I dunno if they've resolved those issues, but if not, you might wanna look elsewhere for a duckbill. Like someone mentioned, inline4 has some copies, but I dunno how good they are. How much does the Spoon one go for anyways? Considering most of the copies are about $250-$350, if a spoonies' not much more, I'd opt for that one...perfect fit and finish.

Those places like Aerospeed, JDMHondaparts, Speed&Style, etc..... all get the same CF duckbill wings from the same manufacturer.... same ones that I got and sold for a little over $200, and some are fucked up, but most were clean... fortunetely mine was clean and fit good... a lil tight to get on but fits good with minimal gaps. But basically, unless you spend $$$ from Spoon or Benen (where you're also paying for the name also, but they have slightly better quality), all of the cheaper CF wings are made by the same company.... TDM spec yo!
