Default FS APR GTC 500 Carbon Fibre Wiing

I am selling my rear wing. Decided I don't need quite that much downforce on the rear. This unit is in perfect condition though it has been on my car for about 5 or 6 months. Only about 2 or 3 events however. $1,000 plus shipping. I purchased this unit new. Jerry

I've seen 4 of these barely used wings sell here on the forum since December.
I wonder what's up with that?

I don't know, I'll tell you after next weekend when I run mine.
Hopefully it's like he said and makes good downforce, I made a custom mount frame mounted uprights on cad then cut a water jet for mine so I'm sure it will take a bit to get it balance with the front.

Would you be willing to cut another set of mounts like that? I've got a wing to mount and don't want to do a trunk lid mount. PM me if you wouldn't mind.

Excellent! I'll PM you my email. Would love to see pictures of how it turns out and how you mount them against the bumper and feed them through the rear clip.

I have the wing that comes from the COT program. Very similar to the GTC wing. I can deal with adapting it at the connection point for the wing. You should have several people who would be interested. I've seen several that are trunk mounted at the track. I'm amazed they haven't ripped out and gone flying on track...

I look forward to seeing the results.

Didn't get to run the car still had some tuning to work out but got the wing on, needs some tweeks for sure. Going to make some changes and cut some more. but this is the idea.
