While going through the local Ecology auto wrecking yards yesterday, during half price day no less, I came across a fiberglass replica of the stock TII wing. Well, this presents a huge opportunity to remake these in carbon fiber since the mold would be a sinch now. I am just wondering what others think at this point. Provided the CF hoods sell well, we might invest into these as well. I think it would look pretty bad *** with a CF hood and a CF spolier, both stock in appearance.



Thoughts?

i think it really depends on the price...... a CF STOCK wing is just going overboard in my opinion

Why would you think it is overboard? I thought it would be nice to be able to replace the stock one (of which I have seen alot that are broken) with something stronger, lighter and for those that like CF look neat as well.



Give me all your opinions, good or bad I like the feedback

Which wing do you have John? :smirk:



I honestly have no idea on price. Definately less than $300 I would guess. This is still new stuff to me, so guessing the price is a long shot for me

If I even get the CF hood, it will get painted to match the car, so a CF wing would be nearly useless for me, since I'd do the same thing and no one would know.
