SL-C #50 Allan's Build
- Thread starter AllanSLC
- Start date
I found a carbon fiber wing that was wide enough, 70", that fits the look of the SL-C.
I put an aluminum plate on the underside where the bolts come through the body for support. I also extended the aluminum frame uprights that the shocks bolt onto up to the underside aluminum plates so that the body can not be pushed down.
Been doing a lot of driving lately and enjoying every second of it.

I looked for confirmation again but I read somewhere that the wing was 9 pounds. It certainly feels that light.

I like the side mirrors Allan. Who makes them and why the change?
Looks like the mirrors came from this manufacturer.
APR Performance - Universal Formula GT3 Mirrors
The wing did also.
APR Performance - GTC-500 Adjustable Wing
I think they look great.

The mirrors are APR but since then I've found them for less here:
Club Series Race Mirrors - Club Series GT Mirror
Both mirrors are convex so they give really good visibility and they are really good quality carbon fiber. Better visibility, I like the way they look and the CF matches the CF wing in the back.
Here's the best pricing I found on the wing:
Universal APR Performance GTC-500 Adjustable Carbon Fiber Wing | AS-107057
Did you get the angled stem or straight stem? I've really disliked allt he mirrors I've seen so far, but yours look pretty good. I just wish there was some way you could do a mirror that wasn't obstrussive (to the look of the car) w/o drilling into the body to attach it.
I used the angled ones, that way it brings the mirrors up higher from the mounting point.
Thanks
The wing was already set up for body mounting and will allow the tail to open without taking the wing or it's mount off. So it was a lot easier to install. I was told though that the aerodynamics work better with the original wing and position.
How do you figure that's less?
That's $120/mirror (240/pr) vs the 1st link posted where it's $210 for a pair?
Oops, missed that one. Here they are on ebay for less though and yes it's for both sides and I'm now officially running for office.

Now those prices are better, haha.
I only wish somebody made a stick-on (non-bolt on) carbon fiber mirror that looked good and would work. I don't really want to drill into the doors
Went to work installing the Racelogic traction control this weekend.
Started with mounting the 4 wheel sensors/pick ups. The sensors use as a pick up the back of the wheel fixing bolts.
From there I moved on to the wiring which involves cutting the signal wires to the fuel injectors among other things. I'll be setting it up with weather packs so that the whole system can be disconnected and returned to its original state.
