Default Wing questions

OK... time for a wing.


This one wouldn't fit...

This will be going on a spare trunk, so it's for track use only.

I did a search, but couldn't seem to get any definitive answer. (I even tried drinking Red Bull... nasty stuff )

There are a ton of choices from $79.99 Bomz specials on eBay to "second mortgage needed" deviecs from Amuse. I meant to ask around @ BW last w/e, but got distracted by the driving.

What should I get?

Any other suggestions?

apparently that USED to be their website. Now it redirects to a mortgage co.

gotta remember to renew those domain names or this could happen to you too.

I have the HPM also but the 60", not the 67" that Ry and Dave has. I highly recommend the HPM also.

Of course, because J's has a proven wind tunnel design and has been refined by thousands of hours of computer simulations and on-track testing.

Did you guys buy them directly from HPM or from a vendor? How much $$$? Since their website isn't functioning, do you have any contact info? (I did a Yahoo search, but it just took me to the same mortgage company)

Not sure how well you can see it, but.... I paid $60 delivered for this wing on ebay.... i don't actually have all the pieces on it.... i just use one piece of it... .it is tall enough it does not obstruct my rear view and it adjusts so you can mess with it.....

My car is 100% track use.....It seems to me that it works..... I have been doing ok in the East Coast Honda Challenge with this thing.... and I do have the lap record at summit (and had it at vir before being dq'd).... so something seems to click with it....

it would probably look a little stupid to have it on a street car, but to each their own.
