What BGW should I buy?

Now, I like these wings. I know there are mixed opinions on wings blah blah blah but I'd like know whether it's worth getting... http://seiboncarbon.co.uk/carbon-fiber-universal-gt-wing-70-5-in-wide.html#!prettyPhoto this wing because it's half the price of an APR wing that's made for a 350z.

But I prefer the APR... but cost wise, is it worth it?

And are universal wings an easy fit? :surrender:

 

Thanks

I ran a generic universay BGW that I bought off ebay a few years ago on another car. The one I bought was full carbon and quality was spot on. The legs you can buy seperately if you want to go higher and is a piece of wee to fit. Easy way is to mask off where the legs will sit onto the tailgate. Screw the bolts onto the legs and dab on some paint onto each bolt head. Get another guy to hold one end whilst you hold the other. Slowly lower the whole assemble onto the boot until its sits at the correct position. Once on, lift off. Do not move around. you are looking for 4 paint dots on the masking take. These then are your drilling points. Drill from top down, seal the holes with mastic, take off the maskin tape, offer the wing legs down and bolt from the underside. Done. easy.

 

this is the wing I bought which they are still selling:---

quality is great and are very light. Legs are alloy or forged aluminium. Make sure to add spread washers washers to the underside of the boot lid.

 

Not for everyone the yanks love em.

Is it form or function your after, if your after looks any will suffice but if your after proven aero, apr. Not saying the others wont give aero but there is no data as per Apr, hence why they charge twice as much.

 

buy the cheaper one. Put on an APR Decal. Would people actually know the difference...................doubt it. A grand for a wing???? er....nooooooooo. A holiday.......er yes. Logic.

As i said, if you after form rather than function any wing will do, if your asking will my bgw actually give me significant aero benefits only the APR is tested.

 

Slapping a bgw on a car in any old random position isnt going to help at all, height/position/wing size/angle etc is why APR is a grand because they have invested the time and money in r&d to give you a working wing :)

 

Or buy one of these and find out :)

Granted and very true. But the op does not say he needs to drift or race so we don't know his circumstance in wanting one.
