Ducktail/Whaletail trunks
My G87 build is more GT3 Touring than GT3 big wing type and I think a nice ducktail/whaletail trunk would finish it off really well. Similar to what BMW is doing with the G87CS/CSL.
I can think of only the Alpha N unit and at over $4K, that really is pushing it. Anyone else think that type of wing/trunk fits the car really well outside of a huge wing?

Persoanlly, not a fan....but, VIS may have one (dont know if they produced for the G87/G42 or not). Their quality is obviously not to Alpha's level but if you wantba cheaper alternative...

Trying to pass something off as a different model (by putting badges, emblems, etc.) is being a poser. Making cosmetic or performance enhancements is not. |

How do you feel about a front lip? Somebody might confuse that with another car for some reason or another. Screw that, modify your car to your tastes and enjoy looking at it and driving it.

No worries, that trunk gives me, as the French would say, a boner.

You can get unpainted for as low as 1k from Chinese distributors. Dry carbon for a bit more. I doubt the two vendors listed above manufacture their own or source stateside.
I personally love the look, the OEM lip is exactly that, underwhelming compared to the rest of the car and needs adjustment. A 1 piece compared to a separate spoiler would complete the look. |

You get 90% of the look you want with a paint matched spoiler like the Unit 17 oem plus option....alot cheaper and should still look great.
Moderators: My post is being flagged as spam. I don't work for unit 17. Just a suggestion. I think the spam thing came from user Bigworm accidentally marking my private message as spam....please check with him. I am not a spammer. |
