Looking for a RE-amemiya GTII like Spoiler

although i'd love to shell out $1,300 for an original CF spoiler.. it's just not feasible..

so i'm looking for a cheaper yet similar one to stick on my Track car...

does anyone in the states make a replica?

or are there any cheaper japanese companies with a similar unit?

I have the original fiberglass one. I don't see the point in buying a wet carbon one when they both weight the same. the fiberglass one is at a lower cost, but still expensive. $1300 don't even include shipping fee and such. NOT to mention carbon is so damn hard to get now. It took 4 months for RE Amemiya to make my kevlar bowtech generators due to the shortage of kevlar and carbon materials. There are no replicas out there, thank goodness. I say save up and buy their fiberglass GTII wing, you won't be dissapointed in the fitment and quality! $1255 was well spent, and yes you will notice a great difference on the track! Fully adjustable to increase and decrease rear down force, and easy to take off when you're just driving on the streets.
I can send you more pic of mine if you're interested, just pm me your email.

there comes a point that your car becomes your project. If you're looking at your car as a vehicle that gets you from point A to point B then you will be flabbergasted by the $1300 rear wing ( you also should not be driving a 7 if you consider it your beater.) but if you KNOW what you want to acomplish with the shell/motor/drivetrtain and you're willing to make the $1500 body into an all out racecar and you don't think of it as your beater then $1300 doesn't seem like a big deal. With that said *put on flamesuit* look into APC adjustable wings if you don't want to shell out 1300 big ones.

I hear ya phoenix.. my Coilovers cost 4x what i bought my S4 TII for..

in total i spent 10x the purchase price on mods for the car.. if u think of it that way u'll go mad..


Dorifter thanks for the tip... but I wanted the carbon one.. not for it's weight over FRP only .. but the I love the look of woven CF... it's beautiful to look at glistening in the sun..
