This is so exciting. Can't wait to get mine and to take some dope @ss pics for you guys.

C7 looks like a nice wing for the money. But I have a few ? Has there been any testing on the wing as far as performance downforce ? Also any high speed testing will the wing hold up to 100-150mph + etc .. Thanks

99% chance that it hasn't been tested at all, long story short it costs THOUSANDS of $$$ to rent out a wind tunnel for testing and it's not worth it for aftermarket companies to do that sort of testing. The majority of the sales of these will be for the "look" of it. That said this wing looks to be as close to the OEM as possible (can't be 100% exact copy for legal reasons) so my guess is it will provide some downforce but not as much as the OEM wing.

To be fair, the GM wing is not some engineering marvel that is the epitome of aerospace engineering. NACA did all the real work on airfoils many years ago and all that data is public knowledge. While it does have some wind tunnel testing, that testing is generally a proof of concept type test that affirms the projections output from the simulation that GM ran on the car as a whole.

If a vendor really wanted to put the time in and model the entire car and their wing they would be able to get a 90%-95% solution with an investment of about $20,000 in software costs. In reality, the software coupled with the NACA airfoil data would allow an engineer to produce a wing with the desired downforce with relative ease. You don't see it done often as their isn't enough profit to justify the added up front costs...good engineers and CAD profs aren't cheap these days. Just my .02

These are the latest pics we have at the moment, this is the first Carbon Fiber wing made. We are currently building the molds to get production under way as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

Corner carver · 02-21-2018, 05:02 PM

That is f**king sick looking!
Can you guys share some additional pics from say a front 3/4 kinda view? (looking over the rear fender)

Corner carver · 02-21-2018, 05:09 PM

I may have missed it in the thread, but will the carbon wing come with carbon uprights?

MemoTRCKSS · 02-21-2018, 06:56 PM

I wanna see the difference between you’re high and low ones

Bigdave18629 · 02-22-2018, 08:48 AM

can you take a shot straight on from the rear, eye level with the wing...looks great

C7 Carbon · 02-22-2018, 05:56 PM

Hi guys! sorry we can't take more pics at the moment, our shop car is currently being used to develop other rear spoilers [more news on that will be posted shortly!] while we complete our molds of the ZL1 1LE style rear wing. We are very excited to begin production and we'll post more news on this once we get production under way.

Just to Recap on the Intro Pricing:

- Carbon Fiber main wing with gloss black supports $799 + S/H Projected to be $74

- Gloss black main wing with gloss black supports $699 + S/H Projected to be $74

- Fiberglass main wing with fiberglass supports $599 + S/H Projected to be $74

Let us know how we can help.

MemoTRCKSS · 02-22-2018, 09:17 PM

Well maybe this will Help bewtween the original zl1 1le wing and the C7 wing is it same Beight???
