Good luck and thank you for representing the S2000.

Just curious, what is your wheel widths and size tires you are using?

The car looks great. Personally, I would consider adding a lot more downforce and going to a Garrett GTX3582. Otherwise, the car looks really really nice.

Looks nice but it could really use a good chassis mounted wing like the Kognition:

and some good front aero to balance it.

The cyber evo has won both years with a trunk mounted wing. I think the trunk works fine.

Because someone uses any particular part and wins is not an indication that that part is optimal or cannot be improved on.
Many parts that are used on these cars are used because they are promoting a primary sponsors part not because it is the best part they could use.
A 3D wing that is not designed specifically for the car using it is not an optimized design plain an simple. A trunk mounted design is not an optimized design.
Can you sell more wings that are trunk mounted to more people by promoting your wing through sponsoring a car and putting all your parts on it, yes.
Can you sell more wings that are trunk mounted than chassis mounted, absolutely. There are many more people that do not want to cut into there car and do what is necessary to chassis mount than not.
A lot of parts are used because the car is used in other series that have restrictions that disallow certain parts or configurations.

Not to mention, the Cyber Evo trunk mounted wing hasn't exactly done all that well in the past...

Bad News Bears.

In any case, best of luck Insight Motorsports!
