I think its safe to say that it isn't gonna happen.

He has one made already. Give him a call.

shineautoproject 11-04-11 02:37 AM

We have the Voltex type 3 double deck wing. We just don't have the bracket setup for the FD. We're building these for s2000 guys. If you order a bracket setup from voltex, you should be able to put our wing on.

shineautoproject 11-16-11 06:43 PM

Now that we have the main part made, no one is interested? I guess we'll keep building them for the S2000 guys. The Deck used is the same. 1600mm wide.

A complete setup for the FD is currently $2200 +

You can get it much more affordably from us :)

I tried to contact Voltex last week about the brackets but have not seen a response yet. Would you be able to post a couple of pics of the finished product, thanks.

jonnyrx7 11-17-11 02:50 PM

Please post price and pics of your wing.

HalifaxFD 04-15-12 02:02 PM

I don't think so. Someone should give them a call and see what's up.

Wompa164 04-20-12 09:46 AM

Anyone have a bracket that we can duplicate?

blasianracer29 04-20-12 06:08 PM

The problem here is that NOONE has seen the spoiler.... Weve been asking for a picture for years.

do ken a favor and post up a picture of the s2000 spoiler Jon.

jonnyrx7 06-25-12 07:29 PM

Seriously. I look up S2K forums regularly trying to see this mysterious wing that Ken makes...coming up with nothing. Guess he doesnt want our moneys.... womp womp womp

Ceylon 07-06-12 04:20 AM

I'm down for this when/if its made :)

shineautoproject 07-09-12 07:44 PM

The price for the double deck without the bracket is $1200 in Carbon. Voltex Type 3 style

or you can get the Garage BB style wing we currently offer for the FC and acquire your own brackets.

Both of these are 1600 mm.

We've built them for a few S2000 track guys. Was never advertised for sale.

shineautoproject 07-09-12 07:48 PM

I have one wrapped for the a customer overseas. I haven't had a chance to take a pic. I'll unwrap it tomorrow.

*pending pictures :)

Ken, any idea where the bases would sit on the trunk? At the edge of the trunk lid like the APR wings? or further in?

I believe Voltex only offers the wing in Twill Weave Carbon. The one shown is our version in plain weave carbon. We can build them in either plain or twill weave carbon. Your choice :)

shineautoproject 07-11-12 05:26 PM

At the moment we are leaving it up to the customer to establish the width of the mount.

If you already have the FD brackets, install them in the position you feel ideal. Then center the wing on those mounts and then you can pop-rivet the carbon bases (sits on top of the mount) onto the wing.

cone_crushr 07-12-12 09:43 PM

Interested in the dual element wing. PM sent.

got pics of how this would be done?

also what about pics with it installed on s2000s ?

Thanks in advance.

Kean 08-05-12 06:12 PM

Can the wing be made without the 2nd upper step?

neo_omega 08-09-12 10:48 AM

now we need a group buy for the bracket

Did you ever get a response from them? if its $4-500 for the brackets from them and then $1200+ shipping from shine I think they priced themselves out of the market. Someone who will spend $1600+ for a knockoff might as well get the whole real item for $2200. Not enough savings for an unproven part by shine... ( and I am a fan of shine, just not the price on this particular item :icon_tdow

where can you find the Voltex with brackets at $2200 shipped???

2jzfdrx7 01-29-13 01:16 PM

any updates on this wing?

shineautoproject 01-30-13 07:52 PM

A 1600mm Voltex Type 3 wing is $2300. I have no idea how much vendors are charging for shipping, if they are even charging at all, or if they are charging shipping from Japan. If they are tacking on shipping from Japan, the price to get this in your hands will be even further.

Keep in mind that when you are saying $1200 + $300-$400 = $1500-1600 for an "unproven" replica vs. $2300 for authentic, that half of the GT wing assembly is authentic. The brackets are Voltex parts, Voltex pricing.

Keep in mind that Voltex wings are also handlaid carbon for the most part and not internally supported. Break one open and you will not find anything inside. The rivets used are simply bolted onto carbon, which can wear and tear. Ours is internally supported with sheet metal, which is more reliable for integrity for the rivets to grab onto. Voltex wings are also not clear coated. Ours are not clear coated either. There is nothing special about the process Voltex uses. The main feature I do see is that the bottom mounting brackets (sits underneath the deck of the wing) is made of dry carbon.

If any of you have a chance to check out a Voltex Type 3 wing in person that has seen track use, pay attention to the small connecting carbon fiber pieces (pieces which connect the lower deck to the upper deck) for stress crack as it is a fairly common occurance.

On a last note. You can't built a $2300 wing for less than a $1000 and expect the same.

Shine Carbon Kevlar Parts - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

Here's one we built for an S2000 customer in our new JDM plain weave carbon-Kevlar fabric.

1600mm double-deck

zman600 09-25-13 10:08 PM

id be interested in a voltec spoiler from you guys!

are they for sell as of now?

shineautoproject 09-27-13 04:20 PM

yes indeed. Made to order . about 2 week lead time without a backorder. No brackets though. You must source our own brackets (everything from aluminum stands and down.) This is what the S2000 track guys have been doing for the past few years.

Top Secret 10-04-13 10:11 PM

One of my friends also fabricated his own bracket. Not a deal breaker if you just supply the wing.

shineautoproject 10-07-13 09:43 AM

We decided to offer 275mm brackets and 250mm brackets in a few weeks. If you need to order something from Voltex, order he rubber basis that mount to the trunk.

shineautoproject 10-07-13 12:42 PM

You guys will probably have luck ordering this through RHDJapan. I believe it is called a rubber trunk base.

shineautoproject 10-07-13 12:49 PM

We also offer two end plate options. Type A (small) and Type B (Larger). The one on the Kevlar S2000 wing is the type B.
