Do you think that wing is SOLID fiberglass? Most FG wings are hollow, because they are made from a 2(or more) piece mold then bonded together. My FG Rb wing is extremely light. Maybe 5 Lbs after paint.

usto have them on halo's . blue rings. YUCK. rice. so i undid the blue rings. and hooked up the "city" light in the 3in1 flogs. replaced the blue bulb with an amber. loooks SWEEET.
I recently read that APC got bought up by another company and now all there stuff is available through Pilot Automotive. So I checked for the hell of it today and looked at their "Performance Lighting " section. Looks like they may have some of the parts you need.

Wow, I never knew they used plastic. Should still be very light weight though. Not like the sack of bricks some people make it out to be. Have you weighed the spoiler? I'm curious to see how much it actually weighs.

its of a suzuki trd truck. we pressure tested it to 14psi. its small enough for my low boost but big enough that i could raise it
now i just got to overcome the higher water temp issue. though i think its just cuz my coolant was low. had a leaky filler cap.

almost every car in that shop is strict drag v8 twin turbo monster. all them have those slicks in back and race tires up front. i guess slicks dont hold pressure well? alot of tires in that shop are flat. but alot of those cars sit for a long time while the owner can aford the work being done.

you'd think the wing and the door were off the same car... but they're not.
