New Wing Installed

Just had the Speedart wing put on. I initially was going to do it in carbon fiber, but I ended up getting the fiberglass wing and having it painted the color of the car because of the size of the wing. I was concerned that carbon fiber next to the bassalt black might look out of place when I have no other carbon fiber on the car. In the end, I think that it turned out great. Thanks to Matt at GMP for expediting the process and handling a minor shipping snafu. He was great to work with. I can post close-ups later if anyone is interested.

hey, nice ride. i think i ran into you once on the I90/94. it was around 10-11 pm and i was in a black m5 with tinted rear lights. we messed around a little. i had slowed down after I90 splits with I94 to give you a thumb up, but you got off Central Ave before i had a chance. anyway, i love the wing on your car.

Nice choice on painting the wing. Bare Cf would have looked tacky.

Need to add the aerokit front lip to balance it out, then it will really look good.

I'm thinking about that, but I kind of like the OEM look.
