My new GT2-style wing

All:

Here are some pics. First time I've tried Picasa to share pics, so hope this works.

Try using flickr. Much easier for hosting and posting pics.

Here we go, maybe this will work. I tried clicking the "Insert Image" icon and entering the URL, but just gives me a red X. Maybe these links will do it.

Looks awesome!
You really need to paint the lowers though...it will look great!

Contact Tom or Justin at Rennsport-one. They are a distributor for nr auto and have had excellent customer support.

Are the "lowers" the front, black plastic spoiler?

looks sick. I have been thinking this GT2 style wing for my car too...
But I was debating choosing from NR auto or MASHAW wings.
How do you like the quality and finish on this NR one that you got?? Is the little blade in CF?
Thx for answering in advance!!!

The "gurney" (as they call it) is not carbon fiber. I believe it's offered in carbon fiber but not stocked. So if you wanted it in carbon fiber it would increase the timeframe on receiving the wing, as well as cost.

I think, but I'm not positive, that NR Auto makes a CF piece for that black blade.

I can't make final comment on the quality yet. Where that little blade fits into the wing, there are indentations that are quite visible. Hard to explain. We're trying to figure out if this came from NR Auto this way, or if there was an issue during the painting process.

But aside from that, the overall build quality, fit & finish is excellent! For me, price/value was a big factor. I know you can spend $5K+ on wings, mine was much less than that.

Forgot to mention that I've received so many more gawks, stares, and comments about my car in the past 24 hours since the new wing was installed. It really transforms this car.
