I agree, most people would say (barf!!!) and now but if you like that wing, hey it's your car we have no say in what you do with it.

I have a similar Cf wing made by Rotora, Cf 3d-2 wing.Mines stands 9inches, it comes in 7in adjustable 3way,9inch or 11inch by Rotora. Here's a few old pixs, I took a long while ago.Will put Ms polyurethane kit to go with wing soon, just have to be patient with my friend who's gonna install it for free for me, damn shop wanna charge me $750 labor for installation only.

In pic 2 it looks like the center of the wing is too tall, might cause a lifting effect. Is that why the moon roof is open in pic 3?

If it was a bit shorter I think it would look better and perform better.

I am aware that most wings perform better if they are higher than the roof of the car but this one with the angle in the middle like that should probably be below the roofline.

Or if the angle can be turned so the front of the wing is lower than the back. Is that possible?

yeah.. it does look like the wing is higher than the roof and that's why Im still thinking should I put this on my 8 or not...

The wing is look really nice and unique but TRU681 do you mind if you lower the front and take a another nice pic for me to have a look??

Thank you so much

I still think those wings are a little too ricey. I have seen one member that had a small, tasteful one, but I can't remember his s.n.

I agree with moostafa, the huge wings are a little ricey. I saw a nice spoiler on street concepts site, here's the link:

That picture was a long tim ago when I 1st put the wing on with my friend & did notice that the angle was too high & has set it lower already. It's adjustable 3 way & I've set it to the lowest angle.. Might have time to take pictures tomorrow depends what time I wake up , sometimes I got out till 5-6am & wake up at 5-6pm. Will post you a new pix as soon as I can.

Not my cup of tea... but PLEASE paint it.. IMHO nothing looks worse then carbon fiber on a painted body. Every time I see a civic, with a carbon fiber hood, wing, etc, my first reaction is "ohh they havn't painted their car yet..."

Hey, Keny, here's a couple of pics I took recently of the wing after I angled it down. I took those pictures in a hurry because I was late for a football game with my friends so these pics might not have the angles u wanted but here it is........
