New side marker delete CF Aero wing-lets!

So a couple weeks ago while talking to Dale from Voltage Products he told me about these new Aero wing-lets he developed. They replace the side marker lights. I told him without seeing then I would take a set in CF.

He stopped by last night with my set and all I can say is cool . He did an awesome job shaping these. I was worried they would look big but he made them very subtle. They really look cool. The standard ones are made from fiber glass textured and painted to blend in with the molding. I just had to CF one's .

Longboard

The fact that they are subtle is what makes it work. I was a little worried they they would be big but Dale again hit this one out of the park.

Here is what the black one that matches the molding looks like.

They look cool. But I have to ask, what exactly do they do?

very cool little mod! I don't think it's for me though. I want to eliminate the orange, but the way they stick out I'm not sure if it flows very well. To me the Euro arches without the reflector look better. That's just me though.

Very ingenius product and looks great on your car, especially with the splitter. This mod isn't for everybody. It's mainly for the people who like an "aerodynamic" look. This product gets rid of those lame wheel arch lights and replaces them with a nice touch of class. They pretty much act like canards, but don't look so aftermarket. They have a sport OEM look to them. I can't say how much wind resistance they have, but I'm sure there is some. Very nice !!!!!

He is updating his site and they should be on there soon.

I got the pricing for you guys today. He is going to sell them in front or rear sets. That way if you just want the front it's cheaper.

Carbon Fiber set/2
Front = $95.00
Rears = $95.00

Black textured Fiberglass set/2
Front = $65.00
Rears = $65.00

Primered Fiberglass
Front = $65.00
Rear = $65.00

Longboard

What do the rear one's look like? Also how is the installation process? Do you have to take off the bumper?

It looks like they install the same as the lights, so no, you don't have to remove the bumper. However you will need to pull the wheel arches back, and to make this easier, I recommend taking off the wheels. It may seem like a pain in the @$$, but you'll save time by doing it. You don't have to, but it helps.

Interesting, but having the euro arches and no lights already, there's no where to put them.
