New type or rear wing, what do you think?

Hey guys, went to a show and a saw a new type of rear wing.

i believe it should look like the one they use in japan on their race car, you know, the one that looks like that.

Kinda hard to tell how it is, being all black and kinda rough. If you want, send me the pictures in your original size to diablone@hlrally.net .

Yeah i know, sorry for the bad quality but like someone said, it is pretty hard with a black on black design.

i think i could get them at my shop for 300 painted black and 500 with carbon fiber top.

i think i could make that price shipped.

by the way, i am not sure about the price. i don't even know how much we pay them, this is a ball park figure.

Also, this is a universal wing so the "support" or "leg" or whatever you call it, don't fit perfect, i will see how i could make it fit.

would anyone be interested in buying these? Let say that if someone is interested, i could try ordering one and i could take better pictures

yeah, it looks a lot like this one.

it is a rice company but they make replica for almost anything, including probably the c-west and the veilside one, depending how you see it. It still is just a wing... no performance gain to be obtain there or almost none...

by the way, the one i showed is not an arospeed.

oh and quick question, is there any advantage in having this big bump in the middle? Why are they using it for race purpose? i don't see how it could create downforce... ???

by the way, it was a test fit, it is not installed on the car as you probally saw.

i don't think you guys in USA will be able to get it since it is a company here in quebec canada who make those.

I really liked that wavy wing when I saw it in a C-West catalog like 6 months ago. Now it's being copied by lots of companies and just like you see the GT aluminum wing on Civics, you will also see this one on Festivas and Neons. The problem with universal wings is that it's universal.

Wings look really bad on FD's with no bodty kit. They need it too match.

it really seems like a crap shoot given that a couple degrees can have a big impact.

Well it's not the AroSpeed spoiler. The sides of the spoiler are shaped differently. But pretty damn close everywhere else.

I was just saying that it looked kinda like that, not that it was, its clearly not, seeing as the little scoop in the middle is wider and less noticible on the rx7 one than the arospeed one. It almost looks like it curves to the window on the back hatch


Quick Reply: New type or rear wing, what do you think?
