Stillen Roof Wing
 
i received my Stillen roof wing in the mail yesterday after missing the Fedex guy the first time lol. It just needs to be painted and its good to go!
The fitment seems pretty good its a little hard to tell by the pictures but it seems pretty straight on.
It came with the double side tape already applied and i was ensured that this will keep it on the car even at excessive speeds.
And here are the pics, i took just placed the wing on the window and held it with two little peices of tape.

For a second I thought it was going to be wild and ricey but its very tastefull

Marco_xyz 05-07-2010 02:06 PM

how much are these approximately?

Trips 05-07-2010 02:08 PM

$179

It's position looks like it relocates the air flow deflection force more toward the CG point of the car which in essence would decrease any downward force on the wheels.

One could argue that the downward force would now be to the immediate front of the rear wheels instead of behind the rear wheels at the rear deck lid wing. But because any deflaction force with this wing is now moved more than half the distance toward the CG point of the car it would lessen the amount of downward force being generated over the wheels.

So someone please explain what is it's advantage as the physics resulting from its location seems to suggest a possible disadvantage.

thanks man, the stillen rear wing is big and a lil wild but the roof spoiler goes well with the sport spoiler

wat do these do?

Jeffblue 05-07-2010 04:29 PM

it keeps your roof from flying off

kenchan 05-07-2010 04:31 PM

oh... dang, how fast is excessive speeds, op??!! :eek:

Marco_xyz 05-07-2010 04:55 PM

Duh! It creates a air tunnel vortex to keep your car stuck to the ground at any speeds in between 100-200mph

NICE BRO.... how is it when you open the hatch? i actually made one similar looking to this.. looked sweet... but when i opened the hatch it uninstalled it self :shakes head:

Marco_xyz 05-07-2010 05:43 PM

Yes please let us know how the fitment is when opening the hatch, that tends to be the major issue with roof spoilers!

RCZ 05-07-2010 05:46 PM

I doubt it gives much downforce... its more than likely a spoiler rather than a wing. In which case, it is breaking up the airflow so air doesnt stick to your rear window and cause drag.

Would work even better if it were a vortex generator ala the WRC ones that made their way into the aftermarket scene.
