Big Country Labs FRS/BRZ wing released
I know all of you will hate this but that's OK.
http://bigcountrylabs.com/ http://bigcountrylabs.com/wp-content...homeSlide0.jpg They make wings for some of the top drift cars in the states and all over the world. Basically they make rad shit and do burn outs. Luckily these aren't just wimpy garbage wings you get on eBay, construction is top notch. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...13262131_n.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y13...79106472_n.jpg Im excited... |
good god it's huge! i'm stickin with apr's wing when it's released.
|
I like that it doesn't mount to the trunk lid. But it is a bit big...

Personally I didn't notice it doesn't mount to the trunk. I'm not sure if I want to drill holes in my quarter panels |
On a race car great on a street car...no
|
Interesting...
|
you might as well go buy a super bird if your gona put that on your car.
|
That's bigger than the car itself... :bellyroll:
It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman... IT'S an FR-S! ... Wait... WHAT?! |
Wing mounts are to high and bulky. The wing also seems to sit way outside of the car. Im waiting on APR.
|
Baller Wings! wow....
|
way to F up a stellar drag co-efficient, sorry FAIL
|
This + RocketBunny GReddy Kit = :drool:
|
|
Now thats the Wing of the Day!

BCL is legit!

Guys, it's a race part; it's for function, not form. Obviously you're a derptard if you put this on your street-driven car.
|
Its a wee bit big. Overcompensating?
|
it looks taller than the roof line.
|
Not big enough :-)
|
I absolutely WUB big, goofy wings on sports cars... right up to the point where they start losing functionality, and become obscene overcompensation gestures.
SARD, Voltex, and even APR offer functionality as well as good looks; this Big Country Labs wing looks like the "garbage Ebay wing" it claims not to be. I mean, a whopping three adjustment angles? Not to mention the over-the-top (literally) height... :thumbdown: |

I do love the paint scheme on that FC.
|
wings....not paint scheme.

those are drift cars, they aren't seeing 140mph. if it's above the roof line, it's not helping.
apr, voltex, varis all send theirs in wind tunnels for track proven worthiness. |
BCL <3

Most manufacturers won't have the budget to wind tunnel test every wing design and application they advertise...even the companies you mentioned. Also - for aerodynamics.... having high mounted wing will provide more down force then low mounted wings... Anyhow, BCL is just putting out there another option for the FR-S community... so let's show some love for doing so. ;) |
I don't think our cars would do 140mph anyways. Yes they're drift cars. My BRZ is also a drift car. So its ok.

Stock BRZ, he hits 147 at around 5:03. |
These guys actually do a lot of testing on their wings.
Great company, awesome guys, great product. Not for everyone. But nothing is. |
it's def a nice wing. i still feel it's too big :( but if it works, then who cares. obnoxious always wins :)
touge factory, you should make some badass RPF1's and run a group buy on them...kinda of like those nt03m's you guys did with that titanium burnt look logo...i LOVE them. 17x9 rpf1! |
Quote:
We did the Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +38 5x100 in SBC 2 years ago. We're thinking about it.... |
make them black this time! :)
|
why did this perfectly respectable forum just get turned into Zilvia?
turns out, if you don't need a wing this big don't look at a wing this big!!! You sound like kids standing in front of a condom machine arguing about "there's no way anybody needs a magnum, i mean really who's packing that much meat" turns out the joke is on you kids, alot of people bought this car to go to the track, and guess what, the slower your top speed the more surface area is required for a desired amount of downforce, also please try to remember there are atleast a few cars out and about with 400+ hp...just because you arern't serious doesn't mean the next guy isn't. the wing is higher and wider than the body for a reason...if you don't understand why then you don't understand the topic at hand and should be learning, reading books, not spreading misunderstandings.... |
I would buy this solely because it looks cool... But there's no aero cool enough to compliment this fine aerodynamic trinket.
|
Perhaps some better shots of the wing on the car would convince people? On a lowered car with aftermarket wheels on a track, or in a photogenic area would do wonders for PR vs. two over-saturated shots in a random parking lot where the wing is just being held in place. That is what turns me off the most...not the wing itself. If people don't know who you guys are, it looks really amateur.
