My car's 1 year birthday gift: new carbon fiber wing!

She's been good for the year I've had her, so a reward was necessary.

Here's a quick side by side of the OEM vs. the new addition:


Took 15 mins to install once I got a Torx15 and cracked a beer.

Here's the stock wing:


New wing installed:


And my favorite shot so far:


It's exactly what I wanted. It's OEM+ with a classic ducktail vibe to it. Perfect!!

Now, time to win the final autocross round tomorrow and take home my class championship!!

If looks will help you win, you're half-way there. I like it.

Well...as for the race, what an EPIC end of the race season. I qualified top of class with 1:04.68, only to find 3 people quicker when timed sessions rolled around. A brand new Spyder (with 35 more hp than my stock CS) ran a class leading 1:04.10. On the very last run of the day I went for broke and pulled out a 1:03.59!!! Best in class, giving me the overall class championship and 4th best overall BRI out of about 100 entries!!!

Not only is the wing sexy, but it's undefeated.

Sorry for the slow response. I'm out of town for a few weeks, congratulations. Undefeated is good. Did you immobilize that one or does it raise at 75? If it raises, I would love to see it in the up position.
