Why is the JCW wing so low? Is it any good? Does it do anything really? Compared to the import tuner hatch backs it seems really low on the car .Is there a reason? It is actually below the highest point of the roof and behind the car.

 

There is a guy in our club that has the JCW wing. Not too sure about down force but it keeps his boot WAY cleaner than my stock S wing.

I want to pick one up and shoot it white to match my white roof.

 

Are we talking about the GP wing or the regular JCW wing? The JCW wing is available in white.

 

The regular JCW wing. I know the offer it it white, but I would paint the carbon white too.

 

I never considered it until I saw pictures of it installed in the Product Review area here and thought it looks much cooler than the stock S spoiler without being too out of place on the street. I haven't seen any data on the downforce it provides but I am confident it is more than the stock setup. I'm sure everyone agrees it probably won't have much effect on handling at legal street speeds though.

 

Here are the pics and review I saw:

Gotcha.

 

I want to do the same thing with a JCW wing at some point, only paint the entire thing Hyper Blue to match my roof. No Carbon Fiber for me! Blech!

 

The wing does not sit below the roof. Just check out the link posted above. It looks totally OEM too. I would love to get one.

 

 

 

I did not see where the caps to cover up the old spoiler mount holes were?

 

no spoiler but i have the caps

 

Blech. Paint it. Exposed carbon fibre weave was old 2 months after Spoon did it 10+ years ago!

 

No caps but I have the spoiler.

 

nice

 

So you had the holes filled and painted ? nice but $$

 

I couldn't resist.

$150 to weld the holes shut and painted. I was quoted a few bucks less until they found out the cost of the paint.

 

yeah only noobs leave the exposed cf!

so 10 years ago.

 

Hi, I'm a full race car- and in a development stage without sponsors on the side. Apples. Oranges.

 

well I figured the wing is from a jcw challange car. aka race car. why spend the money on a cf wing if your going to cover up what makes it cool. might as well go on down to pep boys and pick yourself up a APC fiberglass unit and paint that.

 

and spoon did it on their RACE cars. so i thought we were talking apples and apples.

 

perhaps 10+ years ago it was "old" but in the same way fashion, art, design, style etc comes and goes, it seems that CF is making a come back. the new m3's roof is fully exposed CF:

this porsche carrera's spoiler is exposed CF:

the new audi r8 sports a CF panel:


so, how do you like dem apples? :P

 

If only I had my ALL CF Lotus Exige Photos Handy.....

 

I was tryin to find a good shot of the m3, didnt find any like that! nice. the m6 and m5 are the same. pure sex.
