HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

After surviving my first wife and barely hanging on with this one I can tell you one thing....
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission!

Do it , buy it , anything to make sure Huck isn't the only one with a badarse wing....always showing us up and all! Huck , you know that is going to look very sweet on white. Congratulations on a nice find.Those covers are the only things that bother me about my wing , aside from how much water entered my trunk ptior to siliconing (sp ? usualy I just say "implants") around the bolts(those supplied gaskets did nothing!).

Vince was wondering about painting one up too , their is no rule that says you can't paint CF , and I am sure it would look great color matched. To me , nothing is prettier than a CF weave in the sun , "dry" or "wet" it just looks good .

 

I've painted CF and it turned out fine. Just got to prep it like any other body piece.

Cohlineman, I'll talk to guy. He mentioned that he fabricated the CF covers at their own shop. Maybe it's possible to buy them apart from the wing.

 

Tell us all how you like it huck after you install it. Also tell us how much it costs.

 

 

Huck , that would be great.I've been wanting to rip those things off and seal up the holes and bolts 100% before next rainy season and I would like nothing better than to replace those with those sexy cf thingies!

 

Well, I finally got the wing. And there was a lot more different than just the CF base covers.

For starters the wing itself is in 3 pieces with bolts used to attach the vertical CF pieces to the horizontal section. Although the final product does resemble the other popular replicas out there this detail would leave 2 flush bolts exposed on each side of the wing. Take a look at the photo I posted earlier... no bolts visible. So, the wing in that picture is not the same one I was sent.

Second, and most important, the fiber itself has quite a few imperfections in it. Looks like finger impressions in it. Looks like someone was messing around while the resin was drying. Looks bad verging on terrible.

Third, the metal supports are broken down into 4 pieces for each side as opposed to the single cast piece on the other replicas. Lot's of extra bolts required. Strange.

Then there's the fact I got shipped two right supports instead of a right and a left.

So now I'm working on a full refund.

On the plus side, the CF base covers look really good. I'm inquiring as to wether or not I can buy the covers seperately. :P

I'll post the companies contact info once things get straightened out.

 

hope everything works out man. keep us posted.

 

I am getting to where I hate buying things off of the internet. Not to mention selling things!

I know ...reputable dealers and merchants yada yada yada....

 

Shoulda bought the Gruppe-S one like me, Huck!

 

huck, how much was it, and ryan, how much did u get urs for? i saw a picture of ur car one time with the wing..the wing looks kind of lonely...

and thats the bad part about internet shopping..it takes days and weeks..and u get bad projects.

 

How much did that one cost?

 

Gruppe-s is $375 shipped I believe. Rav-Spec is $325 shipped. Most of the ones on e-bay are $255 plus shipping.

The one I bought was $275 shipped.

 

Who did you get yours from? That way i know whom NOT to buy from.
