Default wing installed!!...waxers...do not enter

The kognition wings quality is about as good as it gets..it took me about 14 hours to do, partialy because i measure stuff 600 times. It was difficult to cut the bumper all up and notch the truck to make it fit, but its well worth the handling. I cant believe the difference. Here are the install pics

I absolutely love it.

I've seen kognition's stuff on other sites. The supports that extend down to the frame, did he supply those or did you make those?

I love the whole look of the car! You've done an amazing job with it. One of my favourite on the forum here.

Hope you don't mind if I immitate the look in the future (minus the wing)

I am not a "wing" guy, that said your car looks very fit for purpose, the wing mount looks real solid, a ready to race Corvette.
Very nicely done

thank you! And yes, they supplied the mounts. Everything is included except what you use to mount it to the crashbar. They are all nice anodized aluminum..the quality on everything is 100%

Looking good. I would have measured just 500 times and still screwed it up.

I wasn't sure about how a wing would look, but that is nice and you did an excellent job of installing it. Well done

Did you cut into the back hatch it looks like you did just a little from the pic,s. If so why not just cut out a little of the bracket. It for sure will help if you get up to the high of speeds. Robert
