CFTP Wing

[cam23mel]

Has it moved yet?

Nope and it's been done since 2/18. I sent AC a email last Wednesday and this was there reply:

"Things are a little backed up on our end, we are experiencing a high volume of orders and shipping will be delayed. Rest assured, we are working hard to process and ship orders in the order they were received as soon as possible. We expect most in stock orders to ship within 15-20 business days from the date we processed the order, your order should leave here approximately March 21. We appreciate your patience.

Regards,

Anderson Composites Team"

Not trying to thread hijack, but there seems to be a ton of knowledge on wings in here and I'd rather not start an entire new post.

I've got a base 2022 coming, but I'd like to swap the wing out for a CFTP style wing.
I actually prefer NO carbon fiber (all accents on car will be gloss black), and I'd really like to avoid having to paint the decklid. Are there any options that fit the bill? I've seen a Vicerz wing online that's gloss black CFTP style, but has the issue of no center mount point to use existing holes.

You can vinyl wrap it gloss black. Or you could go with an ABS knock-off like this https://s550parts.bigcartel.com/product/gt500-track-pack-wing
But yes, you’ll have to do something about the center holes. They are stamped so the edges stick up a little (at least on mine they did). You can use any S550 trunk lid so pulling one from a junk yard will save you money.

Paint it ebony black. Thats what CR does with the 350R wheels. A vinyl wrap would also get the job done.

I've done this three times now. Snag another decklid, weld up the holes, and paint.

You could just use painted plugs but you still have to drill the holes at each end for the dogbones. Not a fan of the budget method.

I received a email noticed from my purchasing vendor on Saturday that the cftp wing has been picked by the shipper from AC. As a double check I checked the info for myself and it’s headed my way. I’ll be setting up an appointment for delivery.

...the cftp wing has been picked by the shipper from AC

So where does it show being picked up from AC?

what # were you on AC list, who did you order from? Maybe this is a sign others will go out soon!

 

[Epiphany]

He pre-ordered, IIRC.

I preordered. I believe I was within the first 10 (could’ve been top 5) that ordered. From what I was told there could be some customers that ordered more than 1 cftp wing.

In case anybody is interested

He is the owner of FFP sorry for spamming with pics but the FB link didn’t work

I'd want to see those "Blemishes" in more detail, sometimes the repair will outweigh the cost of the wing especially a replica. But thats me.

Here is a video he posted of the blemishes https://photos.app.goo.gl/JXQJhKm8U88usQaJ6

Doesn’t look bad, and all the ones he pointed out are on the bottom. Might be a sweet deal for someone who can ignore the dings or has the capability to repair them.
