NEW carbon wings, side skirts, splitter, end plates from Prototype Composites

At long last, and after a nauseating number of mistakes and iterations, we've finally come up with what I feel is a very elegant solution to the rear wing on S2 Exiges. Also in these series of pictures are the side pods, rear diffuser, splitter and chin spoiler. Descriptions will get lengthy, so I'll concentrate on one piece for each post. First, the rear wing and end plate setup:

The end plates, made of solid carbon fiber, bolt on to the existing Exige rear wing and stabilize that flappy thing with the two 'feet' on either side that nest on to the rear clam with a rubber sheet on the bottom of the end plate to protect the clam. The upper element is from the mold we have for Ayrton Senna's Toleman race car. The uppper element is adjustable.

I cannot emphasize enough how much these end plates stabilize the rear wing. Rather than having this thing braced by the engine cover, ( one hinge and one latch located at a pivot axis around the center of the wing), the assembly is stabilized on the rear clam by these feet.

Price of the end plates and upper wing element is $1740.00, delivery in 14 days from receipt of down payment. By the way, we don't miss deadlines.
