I hate these guys, and this price is a ripoff, but I've seen them in person and they look way cool

The GTR style wing: They show a C5 in the pic, but they used to have a C4 as one of their show cars that had it on there. Looked way cool and was fully adjustable from what I could see.

Stay away from the street tuners and cool look stuff.
Contact the racers like Lou G. www.lgmotorsports.com or Doug Rippy's guys (www.drm.com , I think).
Try posting this in the autocrossing and roadracing section.

Are you going to do the Nevada open road race?

He's sells them.

I know him, just give him a call.

I'll post a post over in your racing section thread.

They're about $5k though.

Make that $2k not 5

He must have recovered the developement cost.

BTW it was engineered by an aerodynamics engineer he knows.

I am out and can’t see the post much, but it is $2k, not $5k.
Please revise if you can.

Thanks,

Gary

See if you can find a used R. Greenwood wing for the C4. However, it is not adjustable.
