Pulled the trigger on GT350 Replica Rear Spoiler

[Carbon Dynamics]

Its not on the far edge. Take a closer look at this race car we sponsored with the wing. This is much closer to the way the wing sits on the GT350R than most pictures I have been seeing.

Observe the AoA on that race car and on the GT350R, you'd see that they are the same. The model we based our design on is different from the final model Ford has on the GT350R, the design is a little different different. So those who use our model (HCM and Co.) should advice their customers to mount their wings a bit far forward to get the same look and aero effects as the one on the GT350R. Trying to replicate the same mounting points of the original R wing will make theirs look awkward from certain angles.

just my crappy opinion, but i really do not like your side scoops in black. It cheapens the overall look as if it's now very obvious that it has tacked on additions. I am not a fan of the black hood scoop either, but being that the spoiler is black, I could see some synergy between them and would be okay with that. But those scoops... they just stick out, and not in a way that makes me wowed with the overall package.

Just my crappy opinion, take it or leave it.

I had the opposite opinion. With the black wheels, black wing, the black scoops look good to me.

Yes it does.

I stand corrected. That's a hell of a lot closer than I remember seeing the other day. :cheers:

Read what Dustin from CD is saying. Like I said, the aftermarket ones should mount forward of the edge to look right. They are different than the OEM. People are trying to use the holes where an OE spoiler was. Dustin seems to be saying nicely, it looks like **** when they do that.

Just installed the 350R spoiler by Carbon Dynamics. Looks great only concern I have it vibrates at the top while driving 45 mph or higher. Not an installation issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

I know the quality of Anderson Composite products is top notch, wonder if their R wing has the same issue or some of the other vendors other than Carbon Dynamics. Might have to give Anderson Composites a call for their input. Kinda of annoying when you're driving even at 45 mph and look in the rear view mirror and see the top of the spoiler vibrating.
You would think when these Company's advertisement their wing is made 99% to the OEM, there would be no issues.

I'm really concerned if it will loosen up and cause damage or and up breaking.

No problem so far..but thanks it is fiberglass..so I would check it periodically..had a Saleen style Wing on my fox body and got a 3 inch crack that spread..would up scrapping it.

No warranty on these ..interesting did you have a camera on it to see vibration?

 

[mSTANG_1]

No camera- actually you can see it while driving from the rear view mirror. The one from Carbon Dynamics is made out of carbon fiber. I had it painted gloss black to match the car.

hemistar1, I believe the one you purchased is from HCM, correct? so no vibration issues at all.

 

[hemistar1]

Yes I have HCM one.. no problems to report..I check everytime I detail ...maybe a fix might be on the way..my Roush hood scoop had an issue but a kit was made to fix...keep us posted as I get at least one request a week for pictures or advice on rather to buy the wing or not
