That is excellent. Something about the GP wing seems cleaner though. Is that Japan one an entire rear hatch or just a wing??

The Arqray wing is nice but the GP looks better. Also with the dollar in the $hiter it is crazy money.

I for one am really looking forward to the new one made by .

Eh, I'm not really feeling that Arqray spoiler. The only spoilers I like are the OEM ones actually, aside from the Strassentech lip addition to the stocker. The rest all just scream rice to me...

Guys, I got the feeling that it's really hard to get a GP style spoiler or even a replica. This is not to disappoint you, but I think this is the truth. I'm dying for one but now looks like I'm going for the JCW spoiler...

Looks Great


I have the JCW wing however I don't like the way it flops around and I think the stock wing gave more down force. Palo Uber is expensive...what to do?

Yeah the Palo and Strassentech are similar, I LOVE the one over on Michigan MINI by JS (but it isn't in full production yet so I didn't mention it).

About the Wyvern, eh, different strokes for different folks. Looks like the child of the m7(or Fireballed!) spoiler and the stock S spoiler. Function > Form for those guys that auto-x/track, but I don't do either and could without the rice factor. Just my $0.02 anyway...

^ To each their own. I don't really think that the Wyvern gives a "rice" factor, but maybe to others it does...I just really like that it does not mount from double sided tape on the top of the wing.

Why doesn't someone just take one for the team and lay down some useful info about the "GP style wing". The more y we are told, the more we will want one. Thus, the more sales that will be possible from the start. Right? Makes sense in my head.

So...Start spilling those guts.

I enjoy the show, watching the mice go trough the maze salivating over the cheeze.

Laboratory experiments have been shown to cause cancer in mice. squeeek
