Thanks, that's exactly what I am trying to accomplish.

The wing is a GT wing from APR. The brackets are a one off application they made while I was there for the install. It took all day. I will do a full write when I have the time.

Thank you

,
I was hesitant on the wing for aesthetic reasons, but want the functional benefit. I agree that this is the best wing available and I also think it ended up looking pretty good.

Thanks man,
It's an APR piece I modified a bit. You can see more details im my mod journal. It is a very strong and functional piece.

Diokaef · 12-08-2010, 04:22 AM

^ can you get the part number for the APR piece (wind splitter)?

inTgr8r · 12-08-2010, 08:04 AM

Awesome pics.
It's great to have something to

Check out my write-up on page 11 thread #235. No part number as this was a piece I modified. APR will build you a one off piece if you send them a template of your bumper. It only takes 3 weeks. I just didn't have the time. Talk to Tony @ APR. He is the one who set me up with the rear wing.

I know that you modified that piece but it had to come from another car (made for other car) I was looking on their website and I was wondering which car that would fit ours ( I know I will need to mod it but that is not a problem) just wish to know which one did you use to mod and fit in yours? Would it be for the stander sti and if so which year sti is that one that you have?

Unfortunately there is no part #. It was a one-off piece built for a wide body sti that Good Speed was building. They ended up not using it because the owner of the sti changed directions for his build. I noticed they had it lying around in the shop when they were installing me VT-1, so I took some measurements and asked if I could by it.

I would be willing to take measurement and send you more photos of mine if that would help. I have several that are not in the write-up.

Let me know

Diokaef · 12-08-2010, 10:17 AM

That would be grate!!^

Diokaef · 12-08-2010, 10:20 AM

Or can you talk them on to copying yours and we can do a group buy of it?

inTgr8r · 12-08-2010, 10:28 AM

^WHS!!!!!
I'm sure a bunch of us would be in for a GB if they made one for us.

Diokaef · 12-08-2010, 10:50 AM

And Chris have the prototype tested!!

I will contact Tony and see if I can put something together. I don't mind bringing the car to them on a weekend, or sending them the templete of the my splitter if there is interest in building the same piece.

I'm pretty local and have set up a group buy w/ tony in the past. I believe the price range would be in the 225 range for 5+. I could set it up as long as we can get a template of your splitter

I may still want to head over there just for fun, but I have no problem sending out the template. $225 would be a real steal and a lot less than what I have into mine. Their website for 1 custom splitter is quoted @ $340 and up.

Absolutely!!!
I wouldn't be surprised to see at least 10 - 15 people sign up at that price.

Diokaef · 12-08-2010, 05:42 PM

Prototype can cost up to 5 or 6 times the value of the final piece, this one thing that I learn and experience during the years and this is what make so hard to put new thins on the market.

10 or 15 should be a fair number for a GB on this just from zpost.

i'd be interested
