My new custom wing. What a freakin ordeal.

[anthonybuchanan]

Just ordered a moldable foam sheet to begin this process.

I will shape myself to the way I want it to look and then take it to a fiberglass guy to paint it, etc.

This is going to be the coolest SVX ever. My girlfriend says its wrong, along with some very important members of this forum, but I'm going forward with this anyway.

You can't please everyone right? Post pics when you've got some work done! Good luck.

This Is Fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!11

I, personally like the look of tall wings, if they are done right.

I have an awesome wing on my SVX card for Midnight Wangan Maximum Tune 3. Also have a set of TE-37s and 920hp. Ugh, I wish these cars came manual from Subaru.

Hi folks. Just wanted to still you were I am with the wing.

Status: Not far at all.

I have received the molding material. They are 2 - 2"X24"X48" boards that can withstand the heat of fiberglassing.

I downloaded a free photediting software and it would not let me save my crude mockup to jpeg so I cannot show you the crude image.

I have spent a lot of time thinking of how it should look and basically here it is.

1. The wing will mount precisely on the rear corner of the trunk.
2. From sideways, it will go approx the same distance forward towards the rear window as the stock spoiler. This means it will be huge at the base when looking at it from the side.
3. It will taper in from the front at approx 26 degrees until it reaches the roof line height.
4. The rear will only taper approx 10 degrees.
5. When looking at the car directly from behind, the 1" think wing will exactly follow 1/4" seam that borders the rear window.

Thats all I know so far.

anthony;

It is the protocol of most forums, including this one, to add to one of your other threads about this silly wing instead of starting another.

Mods, feel free to lock, move and/or delete this thread, as this issue has already been discussed to death elsewhere.

[anthonybuchanan]

Green eyed lady for sure.

[bheinen74]

this might be related.

[s'ko]

Hey, just wanted everyone to know that the custom wing that I had made looked too wide, when viewed from the side, and thus I had it changed so it isnt so wide.

I loved everything about the wing including the height however the width just drove me crazy so I took it back to the shop and had them cut it. The shop owner told it it looked to wide and RSVX mentioned the same thing however I had this vision that it would turn out alright. I was wrong.

Honestly this whole wing ordeal has been very expensive and if I could do it all over I would have never started it. I think it makes my car look more exotic (thats just my opinion) but it doesnt look better. In my opinion, the new wing will make my car look better but I will have to wait and see.

Its really been a pain.

Anyway, I will post the new video soon.

Oh! I'm excited to see how you changed it. Mind if I ask what made you want to make it so high though?

[anthonybuchanan]

I personally like the high height.

Its not everyones cup of tea though but I really, really like the height. The width killed me though everyday. I became ashamed to take it out. It screwed around with my psyche. Really. So I took it back to pay extra to have it changed.

[Freeman]

To each is own my friend. I like some of the jobs on the Russian cars and they get critisized plenty. Mind if I ask how much the job has cost you so far? Also, how much when everythings done?
