Default Wing Thread

Hi Guys,

I've been looking for the right wing for my 'F for ages, but can't seem to settle on one. I would love the TRD Part, but they're now obsolete.

The other option I was considering was the M3 GTS wing, but thats straight and our boot is curved.

So, anyone with a wing, could you post?

Big Thanks!
Cheers,
Stevie

A few options out there. Alphaga on Instagram makes a TRD rep. And then you could also do the SARD wing.

I've got the ALPHEYGA (CCSP) wing. I either get a lot of hate or a lot of love. There is no in-between with it haha

I actually have no issues with the height due to the fact that generally a rear wings optimal positioning for aero is near the roof line. I think the pedestals used are a bit much though which is likely where most of the hate might stem from.

Overall I think the taller wings will get little love. That being said, I have been eyeing the SARD.

The Alpheyga wing is great, is well made, and looks aggressive, mimicking the TRD CCSP wing. I like my Sard wing because it's functional and you don't have to make holes in your trunk. It attaches to the edges of your trunk and utilizes tape as well. It has 3 wing positions for down force and the build quality is top notch.

the price is also eye popping. Just got a quote today of around 1700 shipped.

Oh wow, that is awesome. I didn't know that. Definitely a big advantage IMO.

APR GTC 300. Seems like the camera made the wing more bigger than the actual size

Look at the distance
