Oh dear, I don't even know how to approach this one.

My wing was suppied by Rennlister Martind for $1600. I guess it's not bad for the price.

Well, against my better judgement I purchased an OEM RS Wing even with the high price tag. At least I can admire Wing like it is a piece of art. Maybe I should mount it on the wall in my house so I can see it everyday. On the positive side, I did pay much less than the $4K+ that I was quoted by many shops. Boy those 4 & 8 degree shims seem almost free at $21/each compared to the Wing.

Maybe put one of those signs on the back of the car like you see on a fire truck: "Keep Back 500 Feet"

I will never understand why people will do that....purchase a knock-off replica part that is INTEGRAL to the stability of the car especially when the OEM piece is based on R&D testing. However, if it is just for "bling" street look, then replica is no problem at all in my opinion.

No kidding.

Don't even ask what the BBS E88 Motorsport wheels are going for. I got a quote today and nearly fell off my chair.

If the wing is just for "posing" then you made the right decision to NOT spend 4 large!

Great pic by the way!

For all who think the wing will fly off, come to the track. You'll have a good view from the back..... pose that!
