Where did you purchase it from? Fitment? Any issues making it fit?
If you have photos that would be great

I got the aliexpress one for 450. I was very impressed with the carbon work and the fitment. IT is a bit different from the original one and I've been looking forward to running into an authentic version to really see the difference but I haven't yet.

What was different about it? Did you run into any issues at all? Is there any wobble to it? And how does it hold up going fast? Like 100+mph? If you have any photos you would want to share that be great!

Thank you

The mounting bracket to the trunk for the replica is a one piece design that the wing arms are bolted too while the authentic is a two piece design that sandwiches the arm. Although in the picture you have linked it is a sandwiched design so maybe they have changed over.

Besides that I think it is almost spot on. Easiest thing to install on the car was this wing.

Definitely no wobble at sub 100 speeds, it's on there solid.

Havent gone 100+ so can't speak +100. I've only put probably 40 miles on the car since the kit was installed a year ago -.-.

I have a few pics I could dig up for you

one piece design? Is it secured in that design? i just quickly googled an image so i dont think thats from the aliexpress website.

for speed i cruise at an average speed of 80-85mph since you said u drive at subs 100 speeds im assuming that its solid like you said.

And if you do have photos that you would like to share i would greatly appreciate it! Also do you still like it? i wasn't sure if i wanted to spend 2K$+ on a spoiler for the authentic ver. lol

I've always been a fan of the V1 wing. I'm going to paint my brackets the same color as my car and the arms a nice matte silver I think. And also add some white to the top or bottom of the wing itself.

As it sits in all black It is a bit overbearing and sticks out a bit too much. I think i'll be much happier with it once it blends in a bit better with the car. Think Kei Mirua's original v1 car.

There are a few other wings/spoilder I might want to try out eventually. But for now im really happy with the wing. Once I finally get my engine done i'll finally be able to test out the robustness of the wing when i take it to the track. Its lived in on jackstands for far too long.

It is most definitely secured with its current brackets. I push and pull the car around my shop and yard just by the wing itself.

i agree with you the v1 kit as a whole has always been my favorite. i just found out both of our builds are gunna be very similar, happy to see that you purchased the kit from iKon, i bought mine from them too, its currently sitting in my room. I haven't gotten the time to install it yet.

Oh wow seems very secure. since your pushing it on the wing lol. Have you found any pictures of it? im also interested in seeing your car as well with the updated mods!

Dam i cant even tell the difference besides the trunk mount bracket, i think it would be more sturdier with the sandwich bracket wouldn't it? It looks so sketch with just 1 bracket lol like it can just fall off or something.

Not my car but everything lines up with a brz except for the front and heres an idea of what to do if you have a brz.

I swapped my front bumper cover for an frs's for 300 bucks but this looks good too :

Fitment on this car is unreal. Thats my ultimate goal.

Is the FRS bumper just a plug in and play when bolting it back on to the BRZ body? or is there some trimming that i have to do?

hahaha if anything they'll thank you for giving them a free wing, but i trust you, after thinking about it. i cant see why it could fall off since it is drill/bolted on there.Thats pretty much my only concern about the wing since you cleared it up with fitment and installation. :scared0016:

nice car. off topic, but are you running the 9.5 +22 or 10+22 in the front? Was looking at those wheels but wondering how the 10 fits up front with RB fenders.

Thanks!

10 +22 face R in front. I cant remember if I have 25 or 15 mm spacers on in that pic but I have since moved on to 15 mm conversion spacers. Still a decent amount of wheel poke (10 mm).

Bit of front rub but nothing a bit of grinding on the frame won't solve.

I Have the DarwinPro one since i got it for unreasonably cheap. and it fits really well and it doesn't have a problem that MOST people overlook and it Drastically changes the way the wing looks on the car: I call it the Tilt. How far the wing tilts forwards or backwards is the easiest way to tell if a V1 wing is a rep most of the time but the DPRO sits almost completely flat instead of tilting far forward and looking quite like an air brake on most reps.

Only problem is that the deck is slighty mismolded. But no fitment issues or wobbling issues whatsoever

Well, i pulled the trigger and purchased one but i think im regretting it because i bought the regular fiberglass version which was about 150$ cheaper and heard stories of it breaking off 80+mph but than again the authentic one is made of fiberglass, should i be worried and buy the carbon fiber version?

That is a relief to hear lol, thought i made a mistake and should of gotten the Cf version. I don't really want my wing breaking off on the freeway. lol
For your wing, the mount that screws into the trunk is that also made out of fiber glass?
btw do you have ig? love your car brotha

Damn good find!!! Thats next to nothing in cost.

Did you find the carbon one?

I'm running the full race turbo kit:
https://www.full-race.com/store/borg...e-turbo-kit-1/
with a full engine build.

I dont know how much whp i'm making but it should be in the dyno soon!

Cars been at the shop for over and year; their the ones who towed my car to the car show lol xD.

I'll keep ya posted but we'll be making easily 4-500 wheel.

I'm more concerned about a beautiful power band with a quick spool.

Wow freaking nice man, i think 300~whp in this car is perfect but jeez 4-500 sound crazy! cant wait to see the dyno results

Ok, so how has the wing kept up. I plan on getting the carbon fiber one down the road and want to make sure everything is great.
