Fender flares and Group C wing

Fender flares and Group C wing too much?

Just seeing what everyone's opinion is. I think this is the second car i have ever seen with a Group C style wing and Fender flares, If you have any pictures please post them.

I see nothing wrong with that setup whatsoever. Now it just needs a front spoiler to balance it out.

want want want want want WANNNTTTT!!!!!!!!!! I've only seen 2 cars with a wing like that, Billy/Daves Re-Speed widebody and then the Garage Trick SA22C from 22C Works. One thing I remember Dave saying about that wing is that once you get over ~100 the fenders were rubbing the tires from the downforce [mind you this is the re-speed race car].

Yes, the whole Group C kit is still available from shops in Australia. The price of the wing isn't that bad, Its the shipping that's going to be a problem.

Post up info asap please, maybe hit them up for a group-buy option. Sounds like we've got more than a couple interested parties here.

Please don't say it's from Showcars-Bodyparts...

Isn't that the same wing that is available through Mazda Competition? I think they run about 4 bills last I heard.

Not a fan to be honest. To me it sets off the visual balance of the car.

The one we are working with is very similar but is not the same and we are trying to bring it in under this cost.

I love the look. It's very similar to the route I want to take with my SA.

can get the group C wings easily down here in Aus and if you don't mind sea instead of Air transport could ship a fair bit cheaper particularly for multiples
