Hi Gunmetalgrey, any updates on the wing? cheers cirpower

GunMetalGrey · 09-20-2020, 10:46 PM

Yeah I had to get a replacement sent to me because the threads that the bolts screw into inside the wing that attach the columns to the wing, ripped out of the ABS (which is very thin) when tightening them. VICREZ Was great and sent me a replacement right away and very fast, I put it together with no issues and next I will be attaching it to the trunk to see how it fits

I have yet to try to fit it on my car, But as soon as I do I will let you know how that goes.

Thank you very much! That does not sound very promising though...

Absolutely Krops!

I learned the hard way with 2 aftermarket products.....finally getting a GM OEM wing......

When did you order yours? I reached out to AC and was told that mine would be ready in mid November or early December. I was initially told it would be ready in October. My order was placed in July.

PROMETHEUS · 09-24-2020, 10:29 AM

This is all too funny, when it comes to AC. I ordered mine in Aug. The other day, I was told by a sales person at AC the order would be filled by late Oct. Which would be right at the 11 week mark. Although they told me this, I don't put a whole lot of belief in the statement and like you, I really don't expect them until the end of the year.

UPDATE

The wing is now painted and installed on my car, it looks great however there were some challenges installing the wing because of the poor quality control on the product; there was plastic on the threads and therefore spacers were needed on the inside of the trunk because the nuts could not thread all the way in.

This is clearly a cheaper product; there were no instructions, obviously the first wing was defective, the Epoxy glue is made in China, only has Chinese writing on it and it does not state the mixture ratio or how long setting time takes, however for me it worked very well because I did not want the carbon fibre look, painting it only cost me $150 and I got sooner than waiting three months.

GMG i wouldn't want to be behind you on the track. Those $600 cheapest replicas with glued on end plates can't be trusted at speed, they are for the hard parking crowd and i think the end plates are even coming off for those guys.

Guys,

What is the latest verdict on the C7 wing? Anyone got anymore stories good or bad?
Im just itching to push the button but still wondering. Maybe the Covid deal has messed things up!

Happy Holidays to one and all!!
