HardbarUSA.com sells a wing, even though it's not listed on his site.

It's for pros and it's about $5k.

Hopefully he'll chime in.

Make that $2k not 5

He must have recovered the developement cost.

BTW it was engineered by an aerodynamics engineer he knows.

I am out and can’t see the post much, but it is $2k, not $5k.
Please revise if you can.

Thanks,

Gary

Kerry Hitt's work is excellent and he is a pleasure to work with to top it off.

Make sure to balance the car out aero-wise with a good front splitter. Unless it's already got plenty of front downforce and you're trying to catch the rear up. Good luck - looks like some good options out there!

Here's some more information.

Subject: Wing pics

These pics are not very good, this was a early one, and it is shown without the end plates which are included. The wing has had 3 podium finishes in World Challenge. The wing is carbon fiber-epoxy with CNC machined mounts. This wing has a max lift coefficient (CL) of 2.2 and the other wing suggested on the forum can only do 1.6). With a 2.2 CL you can get about 500 pounds of downforce at only 120, but most people run it and 4 degrees or so. With that kind of downforce, you MUST mount it to the frame, not the deck lid. The mounting system, goes into the frame with 3 weld bungs on each side. The wing is 72in x 12 in but the width can be whatever you want up to 80 inches. The supplied curves are for a 72x12. The entire system is $2500 complete, mounts and everything including the weld bungs, and all fasteners.

Thanks,

Gary Hoffman

I use the g-stream wing. They claim 600 lb at 100mph. I know I can feel it at 50mph. They do produce very nice mounting hardware as well.
