Default Show me your wings! (not spoilers)

Looking for members who have put some big CF wings on the back. Ever since I saw the C5R I've always wanted the look...



Show me what you have and please post who makes it!

Thanks!

SuperChevy did an article years back on various spoilers for C5s including raised wing elements.

http://www.superchevy.com/how-to/vem...ings-spoilers/

While the C5R is mounted on the hatch meat, most of the further rearward C5 spoilers are mounted through the rear fascia either through cut-outs or going in through the rear license plate/reverse light garnish. I would imagine most that you will find for raised spoilers is going to be items people have made or at the least they utilized rather large elements and created their own risers.

EDIT: I believe I know why you're interested in them separate from being on a C5. I remember when you had a rather detailed thread on PFF regarding an active aero element for a Fiero that you constructed.

What ever happened to the 9K racing build? That car was starting to shape up nicely.

Yup that was me! Good memory!

While I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I've always personally liked them. It just screams business:



And utility

I have been lucky. I am thinking about full time drag racing and
ditching this kind of wing. We'll see.
