carbon wing
I decided to convert my 85 from drag car to c5r type street car. Wondering if anyone knows of a carbon fiber wing that fits and looks good on c4.

I've seen a few but they were to small or mounts were to close together. I like the looks of the jsp cfd1059 but car is 71 inches wide. LG motorsports makes one also but would have to fab taller legs to avoid gas door.

Seriously, most folks on here aren't big fans of wings on C4's, but hopefully someone who is will chime in and help you out.

Thats a good one 
You are right though c4"s usually don't look good with wings but thats why i figured it would not hurt to ask. Have seen a few pics of track and autocross cars that were sporting wings some huge and some that didn't look bad.

Im not really a fan of wings and I have one.. This is a Greenwood kit from the factory, but I have seen wings like it for sale. I do believe I have seen wings close to this one in carbon fiber...WW

You're the one who asked for opinions on a wing for your car. No need to get smart with a fellow member. The general consensus when it comes to Vettes, wings are a NO-NO and are for ricers, so don't get upset if you get negative responses. I'd advise you to do a search elsewhere.

If you decide to go through with it, I think there is a new category opening up at Carlisle next year...
