But, that thing is just all wrong.
was that the one that was on ebay a while back. :monkes:

Belive it or not it is an actual v8 supercar wing.

It's just not been constructed corectly, the wing itself is to high up on the end plates and dose not sit flat enought...

If it was constructed correctly it would look alot better, but im still not sure if i would put on on a road car.

Ahh yes, good ol Great Western Hwy just past the infamous "top macca's" as well call it. Interesting concept of a home made spoiler made of "cr*ppy" steal just like that bogan song.

I doubt it's stolen. Besides if you read the sign it's got campbelltown off to the right and the M4 on it as well, my guess is out penrith way.

I have never seen that car out this way, cant even picture where the photo wsas taken.



Edit just read the rest of the posts explaining wher eit was.

It is a V8 supercar wing and yeah it dose look like it is leaning back to much but i think the reason it looks so bad is the colour of the car. If it was red or white it may look quiet good. (hidding the supercar wing under the bed) e

I have sen the same wing on a red AU in Parramatta. When the guy changed lanes or went around a corner the whole wing just bounced around and would not sit firm.

What a disgrace!

hah! each to their own i guess

reminds me of a guy that i see sometimes on the monash freeway, a VX commy with a massive rear wing on it...complete with a large kmart sticker on the bottom of the wing! Im pretty sure the rest of the car is stock too - looks rediculous!

I so wanted to have a car in the factory paint setup like the above picture. Thats awesome. Although in order to have a car like that it'd want to have the go to match the show. No use doing it to a stock I6...

As far as the stupid wing on the very first car is concerned....its ИИИИe.
