Im biased...look at my sig

OMG that wing is huge!

I'm sure it's super-functional but huge nonetheless.

They're typically made to order, then add ocean freight and that's where you get the majority of the lead time. Most of the wings are stocked, but the wing stands aren't.

Typically wings are so difficult to sell stateside that VERY few vendors stock them. We have a Ings+1 GT wing with Evo X wing stands that we stocked a few months back that's still gathering dust.

A wing that large is only functional if your car is moving faster than 140mph. Even then, it really doesn't do anything. You guys with huge wings better be track racers.

on the same arguement. do you slam your brakes at the last second everywhere you drive? because the sports brakes arent really more effective than the base brakes unless you do...

do you rev your motor to redline everytime you drive and go full throttle? cus otherwise our 3.7 isnt really anything better than a 2.0 i4...

just sayin..

I'm surprised how popular huge wings are with Z owners. I guess it's the cool thing to do if you have a Z.

I mean, I wouldn't do it, but saying it is not effective below 140 is incredibly ignorant
