They have a CF and a FG version. Takes a little while to get since they make them to order, but it seems like a very nice part. I haven't actually taken the time to install mine yet, but I'm sure it will fit fine.

I have one that I bought earlier this year. It requires that you drill holes into the car to mount it.

It took longer than promised, much longer. The communication was not that great as well. I'd give it a 7 out of 10 in terms of fit and finish. Your experience may vary.

I love that wing! Best one I've seen for a first gen. Do you guys know of any other similar ones? I very much dislike most wings, but this one looks fantastic.

16x8 XXR 521's on 195/45/16. That car is on stock suspension, it looks funny in person.

Here are the same wheels on a friends car.

Sorry for the late reply, it looks like we were talking about the same company, www.c7carbon.com

Im not sure if he is making the wing for our cars any more, Here is a picture of it.




The wing on my car is off of a SAAB 900 Not the best looking wing out there lol

Yours just isn't wide enough, but it doesn't look too bad.
