FS: GTC-500 APR Wing
Perfect condition. Includes wing, mounting brackets, end plates, and all hardware. Retail price from APR is $1,795.
Will sell for $995 plus shipping.
Here is the information from the manufacturer:
The World's Widest Aftermarket Adjustable GT Wing
Spanning 70 inches, the GTC-500 Carbon Fiber Adjustable Wing is the largest wing available in APR's catalog. With its optimized 3D airfoil shape, the GTC-500 is perfect for high speed touring applications and supplies an ample amount of downforce without causing excess drag.
All GTC Series wings feature an aerodynamic 3D designed airfoil shape to obtain the optimal balance of downforce. This design allows for a reduction in drag, yet maintains an ideal level of downforce. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed on this wing to support validation of its aerodynamic design. The results of this analysis are available here.
Each GTC Series airfoil is composed of lightweight and durable carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) or fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials. CFRP models contain pre-pregnated woven carbon fiber sheets for superior strength and low weight. FRP models contain woven pre-pregnated glass fiber sheets for high strength at reasonable weight. All CFRP and FRP airfoils are made using pre-pregnated composite manufacturing processes (i.e. high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging) in high-quality aluminum molds.
Supporting the airfoils are 10mm "aircraft grade" 6061 billet aluminum pedestals that come in a flat black powder coat finish.

I have this wing also and I am making custom mounts. Trying to figure out the best position, height and aft. Has anyone played with it a bit?

One caveat, it's a BIG wing which is fine for my race car, but might be a pain for a daily driver.

Yes. It's a well made wing with a nice long chord. I probably won't have to have as much angle of attack as I did with the wing it is replacing. It is adjustable, but I may modify it for more precise adjustments.

The wing is the entire width of the car which means that it actually is slightly wider than the rear end since the sides of the car curve in at the rear. It makes the wing the widest part of the car and the first thing you bump into if you aren't paying complete attention.
Just my opinion.

For sure I have the file at the water jet cutter that cut them. I could take some photos of how they mount the the frame rails in the trunk. Would be pretty cheap to have him cut a couple more.
