Here are the MSRPs

GTC200 Wing with Elise brackets and boot supports = $835.00
Carbon honeycomb composite splitter = $650.00
Elise front clam canards (pair) = $260.00
Don't for get NASA and SCCA members get 40% off msrp.

People, don't mistake these as sub par low quality carbon parts just because of the affordable price u see. Anyone that seen these parts in person will tell you otherwise. The Wing and Canards are all dry carbon, not wet laid. You are just not paying for the extra Lotus Tax with APR because their GT wing and canards are also fitted on other cars. That is why their pricing is so much more affordable compare to what us lotus folks are so used to seeing.

Does the splitter include the FF spoiler? Or is it just the splitter?

That makes a 1050$ splitter...!
400$FF spoiler + 650$ splitter.

Bgwilly31 · 02-11-2009, 07:37 AM

Are the canards attached by pop rivets. >>?

Im assuming they can fit the exige as well.

No it doesn't come with the FF spoiler. The honeycomb composite is not cheap and it is a custom piece for the Elise.

But the Reverie front spoiler cost more that that and it doesn't come with a splitter.

Hi Billy, mine is mounted with three hex bolts and nuts. You need to drill three small holes on the front clam. I don't know if it will fit the Exige. But if the front clam curvature is similar, I don't see why not.

Hachisu · 02-15-2009, 09:28 AM

Does the splitter use the same mount points as the FF spoiler? Is the mounting hardware for the splitter included from APR? Are there spacers to reach the irregular shape of the bottom of the FF spoiler?

E.D. · 02-16-2009, 11:34 AM

To be able to use the splitter: you must also buy the Forced Fed front spoiler?
Or does the splitter directly bolt on to the OEM Elise clam?

Hachisu · 02-24-2009, 02:20 PM

Do have any pix of how the splitter mounts? I've seen pix of the fastener positions with the splitter in place. But do you have any with the splitter off to show where it bolts to? I want to be sure I've got the install right so it will be solid. Or if you don't have pix, a description might work.

Darth G-F · 03-03-2009, 12:51 PM

Manly I sent you a pm did you get it?

aerogt3 · 03-03-2009, 01:28 PM

Do you know the actual downforce numbers when the wing is fitted to the car? From the lift to drag ratio it sounds like the wing was studied in isolation? The car could have a huge effect, so those numbers may not be totally trustworthy?

I really dont think the wing was test while on the car. They would have to test the wing on every car if they were doing that. instead they provide clean air numbers.

Darth G-F · 03-04-2009, 03:21 AM

As far as I know, only Reverie has real wind tunnel data. And even then, it is not for all of their parts.

It says somewhere on APR site that the figures are for clean air CFD simulations. Real world numbers are lower for sure. But it is hard to say how much lower they are.

Darth G-F · 03-05-2009, 03:58 PM

Manly, how is the splitter attached to the car? It looks bolted. Does the splitter comes pre-drilled?

Let me know, I found a FF spoiler knock off and will be ordering this splitter soon!

mlk_f1 · 03-08-2009, 12:59 AM

sorry for the late reply guys. I made custom brackets that mounts onto the crash structure. But it might be a bit overkill. I can actually step on the splitter and spring off of it like a diving board. haha. I weight ~160lbs. I think mounting the splitter directly onto the crash structure with a long bolt with spacers will be sufficient. I think thats how the splitter on Glen's green machine is mounted.

I've been looking for this type of wing for the Exige.

Thats a great set-up and very very strong.

Darth G-F · 03-18-2009, 08:02 AM

How did Kaz mount his?
