Gathering info about GT wing
Hey guys ~ How are you doing
My first project is headers
Then.. I would like to do something on exterior
There are some candidates..
Led side marker , trunk spoiler , carbon hood , etc
But. something just came up my mind..
The GT wing !
I have no idea about the effect of these GT wing
Some says that this could drop acceleration cause the resistance of wind at high speed running
Some says that this could help the rear stable at high speed running cause the air put the rear down
Anyway, I don't mind if the car would be slower.
You know.. we couldn't adjust ecu, so there's already limit to bring out the performance
And It's hard to resist this sexist appearence...
You know.. Japaness famous supercar GTR and evo10 has these kind of spoiler
It makes car looks more supercar like.. I think
Anyway
My personal taste is low profire wing like lems wing I listed ( honestly trd wing is too high )
But.. It's way too expensive.. over 2K USD as I remember
As I don't know anything about wing spoiler
I want to hear from you guys what's the minimum price of appropriate functional and reliiable GT wing
For example..
Exhaust's social cost is 1K~2K USD for fuctional and reliable product.
The extra cost over 2K is for name of brand or material I think
So, like this thought, how the minimum price for reliable and fuctional GT wing?
I saw 300 USD for fake carbon universal GT wing at aliexpress.com
But can not have confident with the reliable of the product..
If the F is just for comfort sedan.. Then I would take these.. just for decoration
But The F!!! is high performance. so I can not imagine that these cheap one can endure the resistance of wind at high speed like over 120mph
Please expand this topic with your knoldege...
Oh! I might dirill holes and attach on 250/350 trunk and swap the oem trunk Because the holes on oem trunk
Take care ~

to each his own, but I would say do not do it. Unless your car is a dedicated track car I would say use the money for other mods. The wing will help with rear grip but only at higher speeds.On the street and highway it looks like overkill

Thanks for your advice ~
Thank you for your opinion
But.. my intention is more on decoration for 90% normal driving
And I can stand if the car would be slower than before
But at least, Don't want to break down or wrap at high speed runnung which I do sometimes

Actually I like it. Ive never been a fan of the huge GT wings but the Lems one is perfect. I might have posted the over 2k price but I confirmed the actual wing price from Lems. The wing plus trunk combo was over 2k but the wing by itself is 150,000 yen. With todays yen rate thats $1271.00 .I currently live 30 minutes from Lems so I will be buying this soon. If you need help...I can give you a hand with setting up an order or what not.

I also like the look of the GT wing but would never use one unless it served a real purpose. I've been contemplating getting one for the track but I do not want to drill my trunk. I also want it to be an easy removal when Im not on the track but my options are very limited. I think the SARD wing installs without drilling but I don't like it.

I like the wing and its also afjustable
but here is a general idea for wings. You will loose speed on the straights becuase of drag cause by the wing but you should have better cornering abilities. But then again its depends on how you set it up
Here is a good read on aero
