I guess about 3 kilo = 6.6 lbs ....for a wing which costs new 850usd it should be of carbon IMO

$850.?

Which wing is it? This one:


http://www.kingmotorsports.com...tegra

It's $650. from Kingmotorsports. Notice I didn't say "only" cause it's still expensive imo.

Was the $850. from Takakaira including shipping?

$200 shipping? That's highway robbery, although you are in Austria-Hungary

If you want to waste more money, I am sure you can find someone to make you a carbon middle piece, but it's a negligible difference.

Is the whole thing 6.6lbs, or just the middle section?

That much for shipping is just like bending the dude over and raming your dick through his jeans. Kobe has nothing on that shipping price...

I haven't seen any carbon replacements for the center section.

My personal impression is that the wing does work well, at the speeds you'll be doing on the 'Ring.

man, 200 usd for EMS shipping is okay....and the duty of 50usd are included too, so it is 150usd for the box whicih is 1.5 meters long. I got the wing from Japan to Europe......... it is normal that shipping is so much on such boig boxes.

I just put the wing on the car.... .....I think I have to get used to the looks..... I hope I like it in a few days....the wing get peinted till friday in oem white
