    had to send the mounts separately, could be a few more days to a few weeks :|, may have to make end plates out of rounded plastic so they don't post a danger to pedestrians, not sure exactly how I'm going to re-enforce the hatch.

    Top Element

    Bottom element

    roughly how they fit (bottom element is the wrong way round but I cbf)


    mounting



    probably won't make any more progress for a few more weeks, need to talk to an engineer about legally getting it on the car, also need to know where the rest of the mounts will have it sitting on the boot and then see if I can strengthen it enough to not rip the boot lid off.

    I've been in contact with the company that made that and got a quote for one
    Quote :

    - (1) Large 55" x 7.5" silver CF wing element. $ 165
    (1) Top 55" x 5.5" silver CF wing element. $ 148
    - SS hardware kit.
    - Custom span strut wing mounting to 43" center to center
    - Under wing T brackets.
    - Gurney flap instructions and wing set -up info included.
    - Endplates $ 100
    - 9" wing struts $ 170
    - (4) Trunk mounts. $ 48
    - Braces for CF wings $ 40

    $ 671

    shipping $ 55

    $ 726 total

    I paid today so I should have mine in 2-3 weeks.
    Company is Ciro design racing in California
    The "struts" on the one in the first picture are kind of angled forward because it was made for an RX-8 running in a class with "wing cannot overhang bumper" requirements.
    The 9" tall struts will place the top of the spoiler at 15.25"

    Yah

    Figured I'd post up my quote in case anyone else was interested in one like this. I talked to the guy quite a bit on the phone as well as e-mailing back and forth. Very nice guy, good service.

    Edit: did you mean too as in your getting one and I'm getting one too, or did you mean on top of the coilovers, etc. ?

    BTW, I have a love hate relationship with your signature... sometimes I watch it 10 times in a row... wish I could see the rest.

    I meant too, as with the coilovers.

    I'll be curious to see if you can feel a difference and how you plan on mounting it. If Pete's right, hatch mounting could be a no-no.
