West Coast Corvette High Downforce Wing
http://www.westcoastcorvette.com/sho...m?id=53&page=3
Anyone running this wing? Would like to see some pictures if possible and impressions of the product (installation, how sturdy the mount is, does it come painted, how long to install, if installed professionally how $$$, rear visability, etc).
Thanks,
Lonnie :D

Looks like hell :blueangel:
but any spoiler that is actually functional looks like hell, so if you are a passer I say go for it! :cheers:

Don't you dare defile your C5 with that ricer crap. :nono:
If you race your car consistantly, on a roadcourse, then it's debatable wether it's of any functional use. If not, it's just an idiotic peice of plastic, IMHO.

Re: West Coast Corvette High Downforce Wing (lplott)
If you are going to get a wing at least get a real C5R wing. HP Motorsports sells a wing used by several racers, David farmer on this forum is one.
Check their website http://www.hpmotorsport.com/wings.htm

Re: West Coast Corvette High Downforce Wing (lplott)
That is hideous.
This is a joke post, right??
I don't think that wing would even do anything for the speeds that these cars operate at...
Make sure you get a big red 'Type R' sticker for the back, too -- I've seen those stickers add like 35RWHP just on their own.

Re: West Coast Corvette High Downforce Wing (lplott)
OK OK!!!!! The bottom line is you are ALL correct.
Race cars may need wings, street Vettes don't, and it definately looks RICER!!!!! :U
Sometimes curiousity gets the better of me...ha ha
