Sports wing help ?
 
hey guys i just bought a Sport wing online , im waiting for it to be shipped to my dads business and i was wondering if i have to drive hold in my car for it and what type of material is it made of ? is it the same material as the turbo or gxl wings which is foam ? ( i think ) since my friend has one and it cracks/breaks on him ?

It helps if you don't speak in tongues.

I interpreted "if i have to drive hold in my car for it" to mean either "Do I need to drill holes to mount it?" or "Is there room in my car to carry it home?".
The answer to either is "Yes".

It's made out of a black, rubbery extruded foam type stuff...in other words, I don't know what it's called.
The outer skin tends to dry out and crack.

That's all I know.

Yes, you have to drill holes.

It can be painted, but you need to add some sort of flexing agent to the paint so it doesn't crack when the wing flexes. I'm no painter, so I can't give you any details on that.

I used a Plastic paint on my Fiberglass and flexable panels,it holds up good.
