I think we've got about 40 sets out and about with zero issues.
One customer/friend has taken them to just over 150 mph (closed track, half mile), and he said they're rock solid.
I'm sure some actual owners will chime in.
If not, I'd encourage you to post a feedback request on www.stingrayforums.com, since that's where we initially launched them.

Are these still available?
Any reviews from actual owners?
I can't imagine they don't wobble from side to side with just 3m tape holding them on.
Please educate me. Thanks.

My car has seen 160mph with the blades, and no problems...over 20K miles with the blades. I'd think if they were gonna wobble, they'd wobble by now. Bigger problem is the front Alloy Gator wheel protector. Those keep finding a way to pop-out a bit. Kind of embarrassing when I have to pull out a rubber mallet and smack 'em into place.

They're on there REALLY well. I'm sure if I apply enough lateral pressure I could break the bond. BUT, I'm really not trying to do that. LOL
This past weekend I was driving from Detroit, couldn't avoid a re-tread on the road. Heard a horrible clunk, and expected the worst. Diffuser blades are fully intact.

I am considering different options. These seem good except for the price. $125 a fin is pretty steep.

I believe he is out of business. I have them since may of 2016 and I have a little speration of adhesive in several area, but they are still stuck good and tight. The one no nice thing is I can re -3m them if need be, but the separation is not noticeable besides to me. Mine are getting chipped by debris as a daily driver, but still look good.

I think ACS now has a 2-fin per side design.

Uuhhhh... Not out of business. *raises hand*
We've been running silent and running deep while I've been restaffing, installing new equipment, and building inventory.
I'm going to make a relaunch post this evening, but we never had any expectations of ceasing operations.
You know, I was JUST thinking about you the other day and realized I'd be very seen the car after the paint and blades added.
Man, it's everything I hoped and dreamed.
Dear GOD I love that setup!!! (mind if I share them on Instagram and shout you out?)

Hey Alan, sure you can share this as you'd like. It took a while to get the project completed but I too am very pleased with the result. Now for all the rest of you out there, can you tell what's "different" about this car? I thought you could...

In looking at it:
The skirts are nice, too.
Did I get it?
The rear window treatment is something I've never seen and I really dig it.
The rear quarters don't have the vents at the top

Yes, you're on to it. The thing is my car is ACTUALLY a C5 (2002) with a full body conversion into a C7! I've had a lot of real C7 owners come up and not even know the difference! But things like the headlights, the interior (when you stop and notice) are a little "off" and you realize something's different... It's not that I'm trying to fool anyone or pretend that it's a newer car, I just like to customize cars and it was an exercise in how far I could go with the "update" project! Most people who see the car say that it's gorgeous (as all Corvettes are IMO)
