Drove dwn to Miami and picked this Wing up for my project car. The guy is also making CF parts for the inside, He is working on the whole back end (inside) with a Rotary shape as the speaker cover.

Looks good, how's the fit?

Take a picture of it sitting on the car, even if it's not bolted down.

pretty sure i've seen this wing recently on ebay. personally i don't think it looks too bad except that its too wide, and from the side it looks a little too much like a ricer wing. just my opinion though. i know there's a pic of that on a car. someone must have that pic, or the link ot the ebay sale

Thats either an original or a knockoff of the Mariah GTO wing.I have an original I got last year from Mariah.Although they said its been a long time since theyve made one,so it could be a knock off.Personally,I love the way it looks on mine,although it would be kinda big on a stock body car.

yes i paid 122.50 for the part on ebay.. I dont think it will sit as high as the red one above. Its a JDM copy, he has a brother in japan that sends parts back to the usa. This guy also takes pride in his work. He gets all excited when he takes about other things he is building for the 1st gen`s. It is also lighter then i had thought.. WIll get a weight for those who PM me asking.. it also has bolts on bottom so it will look clean sitting on back end ..

( the red car above is sweet.)
