I still have them. They're on the car in those photos.

Alright, here are some close up photos of the mounting stuff and adjustable stuff.

Here's how the base mounts to the hatch. They are mounted in my hatch via rivnuts, which is basically a threaded rivet that the screws bolt into. I should note that you will need to buy new ones as they are not removeable without drilling them out.

This is how I drive around on the street. I choose to leave the bases on the car as I think it looks better than leaving just the rivnut bolts on the car, but you can do either way in about the same amount of time.

Here's the bottom of the uprights that goes in between the carbon base plates. These are the bolts you remove to detach the wing.

Here is a shot of the adjustments for the wing angle. Very precise and fool proof method of adjustment. Each hole is exactly 1 degree of angle. This is the same adjustment method used in ALMS. No need for guess work or wing angle indicators.

And finally, another cool and unique feature on Kognition's wing is adjustable end plates. No matter what angle your wing is at, you can adjust your end plates so they are parallel with the ground. More for looks than anything else really, but a cool little detail feature nonetheless.

And in case you were questioning the strength of a Kognition wing...

This is Mike from Kognition standing on a wing he made for the JIC Porsche. Same wing element, but the one in the photo is 74" wide. And obviously different uprights.

M.Bonanni · 05-14-2010, 06:34 PM

If the wing hasn't sold yet, and anyone in the SoCal area wants to see it in person, the car will be at the Redline Time Attack event at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana May 29th & 30th on display in the Berk Technology pit area. I can also take it off and hand it over to you at the event if you wanted to buy it at that time.

Reminder that my car with this wing on it will be on display in the Berk Technology pit are at the Redline Time Attack event at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA this weekend. Added bonus, Mike from Kognition will also be doing an aerodynamics seminar during the event so you if you are a seriously interested buyer, you can check the wing out in person, sit in on the seminar and learn all about the wing, then hand over the cash and take it home with you!
