A used one? Wild guess -> $2,000?

(since a new Manthey is 1,980 euro.. then you add the shipping to US, possible custom fee, etc.) So maybe $3k for a new Manthey, so $2k for a used one... but that's just a guess.. !

He said oem though.. I'd start at $3k. You'd probably move it pretty quickly for that.

Sorry Seb,

Knee jerk reaction, don't see these up for sale often. It's only fair you get first dibs as you started the thread.

If IPGuy's wing is the one that came off Jim McNemar's car, it is the real deal. Damn I shoulda bought that car.

So you guys feel an OEM RS wing should command high price than a Manthey wing? (just wants to hear some opinions..) Since from people who own the Manthey, it appears to be close to OE quality..

OEM retails for $8000 at Suncoast and for $11000 at Canadian dealerships. Whether it's worth it or not, thems the facts.

Yeah, but a few years ago, both the OEM and the Manthey were both $2,000 parts.. so hence my reason for making them equal values..

Anyway, the buyers will determine the market, so... !

I sold my Manthey a few years ago for $2,700.00. I would say that it's OEM quality or better. It's wider than the OEM blade as well. Nice unit.

Rob,

Thanks for the feedback.. I understand that Manthey claims a 5kg more downforce compared to OEM..

Wow, the price of the OEM RS Wing is crazy money now. Maybe I should put back the stock wing and put the OEM RS Wing in a safety deposit box. Looks like the wing might be worth more than the car soon..
