99 spec rear wing
Any chance you have been thinking about making a quality 99 spec rear wing? Not just the center blade but the whole package? It seems like an easy mold but there are not many available on the market. I am sure they would sell fast here.

It would be awesome if you could make the end cover pieces that cover the center section bolts out of carbon. Odula sells them but they only sell plain weave. I'd prefer twill.

Referring to the one with the yellow outline.
Just looking at it, you might think it looks like something easy to produce in carbon. The deep hole for the screw will be difficult to get right using a conventional hand-laid technique. Also, you're forgetting how it mounts on the inside. The authentic ones have certain clips that hold it to the wing that pretty much cannot be reproduced in conventional composite. This is why I said someone can make something that "looks" like it, but it is half-*** because it doesn't have the proper mounting unless you feel one screw to hold it in is considered proper.

The endcaps would have to be injection molded or 3D printed to get those profiles. You could maybe do a molded/printed skeleton to capture the tab profiles then lay the desired composite over that for the finished face. There are rapid prototype companies (ie Protolabs) that can can make molds rather economically.

Comes in plain weave. Doesn't show the inside. Definitely won't have the hook. But if one screw works, great alternative if you are missing end caps.
