As for the spoiler warning light, you can do nothing and have no spoiler warning light. I went to a fixed rear wing and simply disconnected the hydraulics during the exchange and I have no light. There are others with the same experience. I do not believe it is necessary to purchase a wiring harness - I know that I did not have to. All you have to do is tuck the two electrical leads that are for the hydraulics, up under the plastic liner...being sure not to compress them. If you compress them, the small switch at the end of the lead will make contact and trigger the spoiler warning light at about 75mph. This is a very simple thing to do and since you have to do the disconnection anyhow to exchange the wings..it's all done when you do the swap. Just tuck the two extra wires away.

yes, he is still tring to get a better shipping quote and finding the costs of having the adjustable part in carbon fiber along with the uprights. I hope he will get back to us in short order.

I've asked him a ton of questions so that I can post all the details. production timing, length of shipping, capacity, various upgrade costs.... so i did flood him with a lot of questions. So i'm hoping to get answers to all of it very soon!

Cheers,
Boris

well the guy has been an absolute flake. He promised me information last week and then early this week. Albeit i asked a lot of questions, he should get back to me, especially when we are ordering volume. Needless to say, I have to advise everyone that I perceive this to be of higher risk. I'm still interested in buying, but we have someone here who is just not got everything all together. I'll keep you informed if and when he answers all the questions.

the quality is terrible , the wing cracked almost all the way from end to end,also the side of the wing. the fiberglass is very thin. the guy wouldn't acknowledge it and don't want to do anything. I've sent him photos of the cracks. i had my friends brother pick it up from his place of business (home). Oh the trunk also has some crack, with time i'm sure it will have more crack i'm not installing it (for sale) (the seller is hard to get a hold off)

Man - too bad. I am looking for a new wing as well - since the Carbon one I have - I am not happy with.

Just saw this thread and read through it only to find that this doesn't look very good how it's turning out.

Hmm - back to the search.

i bought a gt2 add on type wing from them also like a year or 2 ago and mine looked the same, cracked in a lot of places. They did refund me some money though to pay for the repairs.
