Sorry for the delay. Yes, we can build you something. However, we've found that it's usually more cost effective for your local fabricator to use our wing blade and make / modify uprights to mount to your lid.

We work with a number of highly skilled shops around the country. AMS in Chicago, Forged in Atlanta, Classic Coach Ferrari in NJ, to name a few.

In that effect, he's been the happiest customer we've ever had. There's something beautiful about watching an F430 overtake an F50 and F40 on track. We're going to repeat the project on the 458C.

Wow that's a pretty awesome! I'd love to see vids of that car if you have any.

Static Wing on 996 looks ominous! Can't wait to try it out.

Feels much more planted under braking and in most corners. But I only have one event under my belt with the new wing. That being said, cursory review of data shows overall improvement. In particular, Vmin (in virtually all corners) is higher. No reduction in overall Vmax, likely due to limited drag of wing a d increased entry and midcorner speed. I haven't evaluated the data in depth yet, but intend to do so when life permits.

Second event is next weekend, so I will have more to report then.

Plus it looks badass!
