I like it. Saw these on ebay too if I could sell my GTC200 for enough I'd pick one of these up and see how well it worked on a track.

Why would it be better if they are made in the US? Something to do with transport maybe?
I had to wait a month for this wing, which was pretty quick, considering I was on a waiting list.

Looks great. Love your car, adding canards to the front will definitely complete the look. Thanks for the review.

Old thread bump.
This is tempting.

Any feedback after a year of owning it?

I actually bought a replica one off ebay from a seller in china. I have had the wing over a year and its holding up great. His hardware is crap but the brackets are strong. You can feel the wing work.....could it work better maybe or maybe not

I bit the bullet and placed an order for one... couldn't resist the price.
Track season is done for me this year because of weather but I'll be testing it out next season and hopefully I'll see some and feel a difference.

Well got the wing... came wrapped like a mummy and it took me forever to unwrap which was good cause I was worried about it being damaged during shipping.

The wing looks really really nice. I have no experience with the authentic version so I don't have a bench mark to compare too but I'm pretty happy about what I got for the amount of money I paid for it.
The wing itself and the end plates are really nice... the stands are decent but the base plates are kinda ghetto. The base plates are kinda rough in finish.... it could use a good sanding down and a repaint but I got impatient and installed it anyways lol.

I had ZERO fitment issues. This was the first time I've ever done a wing install and I did it by simply looking at pictures on google and no instructions.... by myself.

Over the winter I might disassemble the wing and do the base plates and paint the holes I drilled into the trunk to prevent them from rusting.

Considering the authentic version is 2 grand (over 3grand canadian!! ) and I paid 1/3 the price for this one, I'm extremely satisfied with this rep. I have really no complaints...
