Mode Carbon Black Series Track Wing
So wanted a wing for my F track car build. I wanted more then big wing had to be functional yet not too over the top. I turned my attention the the Merc C63 AMG Black which was only offered in a coupe. I did see a few C63 sedans rocking the Black Aero i figured F it i still got a spare trunk. So here it is the Mode Carbon Black Series Track Wing. It's only mocked up for pics since I'm using a carbon fiber trunk I want to add a nice backing plate to deck lid
I got to say. I hate it but I love it.

Hey Larry! Glad to see you decided to add some aero. I am loving my APR wing. Can’t wait to hit PittRace this year. One note on the spoiler. The flat airfoil won’t produce as much downforce as a 3D foil...but it’s going to still help on the 130+mph high speed zones. Pic from my track build.

I'd be remiss to not admit, was quite surprised to see the OP go with a more expensive solution, esp. one with no data on effectiveness that I could find, given how much he's invested in what is otherwise a very well-purposed track car... No disrespect, as it does look nice, but it isn't a DD either, so why prioritize form over function? If I end up with a wing, it will have some sort of QD removal solution for DD duty and would be installed almost exclusively for track use. Hopefully by then, there's more than one active aero manufacturer to promote competition, and thus reduce prices to something more approachable near the APR's price range.

I'd love to see more on this one as well... This is the wing RR Racing sells, no? Lots of pics of theirs, FWIW. What width did you go with? Any feedback/data on flat vs. 15 degree setup? Did you do anything to increase rear brake bias?
