DF Aero Kit (Fenders and rear wing)

[Sco2355]

I just hope we get some kind of update soon... I have let several killer deals go through because I want to wait for this one...

I'm more interested in the fender. I would say for a wing this big, it would have to be riveted on anyways.

The fender is important to me because it will affect my wheel decision.

[zooki]

So, how come the fender doesn't extend all the way down in the back? Seems like it would just throw crap all over the side of the car? Or is this show car only stuff? It just seems impractical for a daily driver to me.

Hi all.

About the fender that is something that will be looked upon after the wing is released. So for you who want the fender i cannot promise anything atm. That is a early prototype and cannot say atm how or when it will be made.

Regarding the wing we are still waiting updates from the manufatctorer about diff pricing on diff approaches.

Im as eager as you all are to have this done.

Hope you all hang in there abit longer.

I have now had some talk about the molds/models.

We have 3 options.

1*Riveted on
2*Double sided wing - For double sided tape attachment
3*Complete trunk.

These 3 options is diff price for molds etc, So the molds for a complete trunk is more than double the cost to produce and for the molds as the riveted option.

Looking at other trunks on the market that is not having this complex shape is around 1000$ and that is something we def would charge or more for a complete trunk, Due to the shape of the rear etc and depending on material choice.

For a riveted solution it will be alot cheaper but yet again, Nothing that people prefers,

That leaves us to a complete wing with 2 sides for mounting with 3m tape.


And also for the wing we needed to make some changes for it to be able to make without risk of deformations in molding process.

See attached image. For us this small change is ok as the rest of the wing is able to keep intact.

Taped on is better than drilling for sure!! Also i think 2 would be better? im not sure how thin those pieces going up the trunk would be and i can imagine Hell when shipping them.. and pieces breaking or something...?

I say do a complete trunk, add on's look cheap and obvious.

Will the wing still come out as aggressively as the older pictures? In these pictures it looks like you guys made the curve not come out as much.

[Skooty]

^Yea the older picture looks sick and this looks a little less aggressive and i think #2 is the best looking since it's the most like the original picture.

[DF-Aero]

The wing will be as agressive as the latest picutures posted before! Just hard to judge in this angle! Waiting updated images from diff angles.

If you were to do a complete trunk what material would you use? I really don't care for carbon fiber. I do like pic 2 better. I like that diffuser too

[DF-Aero]

The material is not yet set, So we will go for the best approach but having the costs and price at a good range aswell.

I think OPTION 1 is better, particularly due to the fact that it covers the holes on BRZ limited spoiler, you have more business opportunities not only with frs, but with brz limited owners who are limited to spoiler options...

...and it also benefits me

Hi.

The problem we are facing is that its getting to thin gowing towards the window and the issues with deforming is large! but we are trying to letit go so far up that it covers the original holes atleast.
