APR Wing?

Anybody else waiting on them to release a decent adjustable wing? I hate how the varis wings mounts to the center, i emailed apr about it but no response. I wonder if they will be releasing a gtc-200 / 300 for our cars, i think it could really help me out around the high speed corners.

Anybody know anything about this?

For quick reference:

GTC-200:



GTC-300:

I was curious as to what it would look like on the BRZ. We even had our STi with the GTC-300 parked next to the BRZ and I hunched down to an angle where it looked like the APR wing was on the BRZ. Hard to tell due to the depth of field, but I thought that it would look pretty good.

Thanks,
Rick

Agreed i think it might look like sex!! Still dont know if im going with the 200 or 300!! Im guessing both do their jobs as far as downforce im guessing the 300 just does it better.

The wing is nice but the mounts are horrible. Thats what steered me away from Varis.

Just emailed Voltex trying to see if they are releasing something as well.

I think it's a good place to land an F-35.

Agreed but we need a single exit diffuser.

With the riveted fenders and the bolted down industrial wing mounts I keep looking for missile launchers and cannons. I guess if its functional for track purposes then its a good thing but if i saw that cruising down the street i would get a good chuckle out of it.

I do want that Diffuser though...damn thats sexy.
