Rear wings!

Let's see your rear wings. I'm thinking a universal one just struggling to find one that would be the proper width without too much modifications.

The other option was going the expensive route with

Df wing mount with a $250 Amazon wing. Had to do some modifications to the horizontal mount pieces. I cut off the tabs and added a vertical 1 inch piece and welded the bracket together. When I bought the wing I thought it was going to be absolutely perfect it was close but no cigar.

I'm new here, but can you share how you got both the front and rear wings mounted? I was going to buy everything 9LR sells, but that's $3200 in awesome parts, that'll be used on a street Goblin... I like the rear wing you chose and would like to see the front one as well, assuming you've finished it by now?
It's pretty simple if you can cut and weld, if you can't weld it's still fairly simple. I had the wing logit mounts welded to the width of the factory df uprights and mounted onto them. For the front wing, I made brackets with simple angle iron and trimmed and cut them to be able to be bolted the the frame. Send me a dm to remind me to take some photos for you.

Most rear wings are really for looks only. If they add downforce, it’s where it’s not needed. Not saying a wing can’t be added to do something, but most are strictly for looks. Especially on a street only goblin.

Russell Welding on Washington St can handle the welding part.

Thanks man, I'll try to get by there one afternoon this week! I need to also ask them about building a full cage, that I can actually fit in as well. I barely got in/out of Robinjo's a couple years ago, so I don't wanna mess it up and not be able to fit in it afterwards...

How tall, large are you? I’m 6’1” 280. Have a standard chassis that I just made a track frame and have no problem getting in and out. It took some practice, literally. lol. But it’s not bad.

I'm 6'5" and 240ish. Did you order the rest of the full cage from DF or make it yourself?

I love your 2nd pic there! Looks so much like an F1 car! That's the look I wanted! May I ask for the specs on your wheels and tires?

I know in another thread you were going to send me pics/info on the front wing/splitter, I think?
I sent them just now. Yep. I ordered from DF. It took some fabrication and sleeving to make it correct. We welded it together and powdercoated it then welded it to the car so only the welded had to be touched up. Overall came out great
