Thoughts on the carbon fibre wing?

[TheFactor]

Congrats! I’m jealous af ??

Thanks Brother I would be to ?
Seriously it’s really exceeded my expectations in every area. It’s like a piece of art the craftsmanship is phenomenal and looks wicked on the car but yet still tasteful ?? Everything lined up perfectly to.

Looks great! What are you planning to do with the old wing? I want to get a carbon one but I have no room to store the old one.

Thanks! I’m just going to hang on to the factory wing. I actually slid it into the bubble wrap and box the CF wing came in and I’ll stash it somewhere lol. If you have no place to store it you might be able to sell it running a ad .
Just a thought or heck it’s so small you could probably slide it under your bed ??

Beware of the Wing ??

I emailed Honda Factory Parts and they made up some story how they only had one spoiler in stock, so it was first come, first serve. I said they should honor the price and they refused. They told me it was out of stock and they can't get more. Bullshit! They are in stock all over. They just messed up the price and refused to honor it.

So, I may either go with the OLM or design one from Carbon Sixth Element. Thinking of forged carbon.

I can totally understand and I think you’re right but man if you can swing it I’d go factory OEM. This wing is perfection so beautiful and the craftsmanship is first class . Every thing lined up perfect. I’d pony up and get a quality wing and you can’t go wrong with this OEM and made in Italy they are Masters no doubt after looking up and close at this wing in every area ?? I’d also go with or consider PLR for a no games fast shipping stand up company .
But yeah I figured that’s what happened they stepped on there you know what and did a one or none and done. Again that kind of deal on this quality wing is unheard of. To good to be true as it was .

Carbon Sixth Element does put out very good product and it would be more rare if I did a unique carbon design, such as the forged with a matte finish. I was only thinking of OEM because of that price. I'm not sold on the red carbon with the Boost Blue, which is what I have.

Get what makes you happy brother that’s what it’s all about and what I did ??
It’s all matter of taste but I love the red flash in the carbon making it unique and blends well with the red calipers and emblems .
I also like how it’s more subdued than most wings just like KL5 body lines . Also the red flash you only see in bright sunlight so you get the best of both worlds . But most importantly It kind of matches my Type R CF money clip to the dealer gave me when I bought my car lol. Excuse the knife I also collect them and on knife forums thus the knife picture.

Not really worth it unless you're trying to go for that OEM+ look, then I get it. But other than that, if what you want is downforce or weight savings you're better off buying an aftermarket replacement including the mounts.

When you look at my OEM CF Wing you can feel the downforce ???
You have to be careful when you walk by it doesn’t scoop you off your feet ?????

@Two Step Performance I didn’t get a wing from you but I did just order a set of Alplus Areo guards in CF

I ended up ordering from Carbon Sixth Element. I did matching emblems and antenna cover. I did not go matte, as they said one scratch and the piece is done.
