LOL that's a biggun! I like the shark fins:P

I think they're a bit shorter but as Trackcar says you just don't see the wing anymore.

Yeah, the cup car wing is a monster. The OEM uprights are very tall. The whole package from Getty including base, carbon wing, end plates, and OEM uprights is very reasonable and the quality is pretty good. Not OEM (except for the uprights), but then again it's not OEM prices either. Probably an 8 out of 10 for fit and finish.

Since the engineering went into these extended uprights, how is aero affected? I'd expect more downforce but how much and shouldn't the aero up front be modified as well to match?

Watch a Cup car you'll see a lot of movement in the wing.

I have them on my car now and they look great, rear view is wide open again.

Very nice to have!!

Now I can angle the side mirrors better and see the cops coming!

+1. View out the back is... refreshing.

For me the wing's stable at sustained speeds of 180+mph for stretches of over a minute at a time. At 194mph (indicated) and the setup's still rock solid.

Granted I recommend running a cup front lip and flicks to balance the additional downforce in the back. Car was incredibly planted throughout my "test".
