Wow, that cooper works wing is huge. Not my taste but cool.

I love the GP wing but you can't get them.

Don't Hate. Manufacturing DOES cost a bunch. If you think it's too expensive don't buy it. I have bought a few things from Palo Uber, the light bar fit perfectly. Very heavy duty. Wiring kit was well put together, AND some of the best customer service I've ever gotten. All worth far more than the price I paid. I've gotten a great deal on things before only to waste far more time and frustration than the $ saved. The people I've interacted with on NAM have all been VERY helpful, but bashing accomplishes nothing (unless you have been truely wronged).
Happy Holidays All!

What does this Uber wing do, besides keeping rain off the back window?

Exactly! That's about what it should cost.. Wounder if they would make one. Maybe they can't get that high of quality 3M adhesive tape....PS: Sorry for my smelling.

There is a new post today (I believe) in the vendor section about this wing making some pretty bold claims about downforce, aerodynamics, etc. While this kind of jargon is not out of the ordinary for Uber posts, I would love to see some data backing these claims, as usual. I just don't understand how people can read these product postings that make these large claims and not even wonder about seeing some cold hard data to back up the product. Carol @ Uber, or Mini Madness, let's see the independant numbers on this thing!

good luck. Past experiences will show that your chance of getting actual numbers is VERY slim. Not to mention the chance that this actually creates a noticable downforce is almost 0. I dont understand why companies can't just sell something like this and just simply say "It just looks good " Instead of pretending that its some kind of performance mod

Well, because everything Uber does is "world class, uber designed" with vast performance increases, all the while providing NO data or concrete numbers to verify any of it. Unreal.
