View Full Version : Pics of the Carbon Fiber Wing Are Here!

After a few weeks, I've finally got the fitment pics of the 100% carbon fiber CTR replica wing developed! Keep in mind the pics below are of the prototype of the wing that we'll be making for everyone. Therefore, it's not as shiny as the wings you'll be getting.

Here's my email: bretgorden@aol.com
Email me ASAP if interested. First people who get their order in will be the first people to get the wing; it'll be in order of who orders first. You can post here about how you like the wing, but if you want to order, you might as well just email me.

Again, here is pricing:
Carbon Fiber: 350 Shipped! (this was reduced from 400+shipping because I'm taking the risk of saying that I'll sell 15 or more of these)
Fiberglass: 220 Shipped!

Answers to FAQs about this wing:
The wing is 100% CF and is high quality.
The wings are all clearcoated.
The wing doesn't come with an LED, however it allows part of the 3rd brake light to show (see pics).
Fitment is excellent (see pics).
No modification necessary! Fits US spec civics with no modification.

The pics (enjoy!):

More from the back, and if you look closely at the glass, you can see our stock 3rd brake light like above:

Last pic, this shows how it looks overall, although as I said, it's not shiny because it's just the prototype and isn't clearcoated in this pic:

Great lookin wing! Still a lil worried about quality though... Anyone know about how much it would cost to paint the fiberglass one?

"i don't like it that much...but nice wing though"

What are you tryin to say?--something positive or negative?

By the way, the "100 dollar ebay wing" you're referring to costs 100+50(shipping) +100(painting) + 50 to 100(modification/install). That's 300-350 dollars, not 100. I bought it myself, and I know what I'm talking about.

But thanks for the post.

CivicSiR

B( * Y * )BIES,

Thanks. Well, we can make carbon fiber hoods... and just about anything else for the car. If you're interested, feel free to email me ... bretgorden@aol.com

do you have a clear pic of the third brake light? Especially a pic somehow a bit further away... I like to see if rear motorists will be able to see the brake lights without slamming into my car.

HondaMan
12-23-2002, 02:04 PM
Nice...I need to find some money to get it! Having a black EP does have its advantages when it comes to exterior/cosmetic items (CF & other kits). :) Plus, I would like to see some more pics (close up & far away w/ brake light lit up). Thanks!

2fastcivic
12-23-2002, 04:29 PM
its a positive reply but im just telling you what i think. and as for the "ebay wing" i modified it myself so my final total will be close to $300 painted.

LordKoo,

I know what you mean. I wish I had a better pics of the 3rd brake light...but I don't.

HondaMan,

Yup, black EPs go nicely with carbon fiber and cosmetics/etc =) (I have a black EP myself). I would love to send you a pic of the 3rd brake light lit-up, but I just don't have one now... I'll do my best to get that for you. I do have one other picture which shows the car from further back though it's hard to see the light. Here it is attached.

IceD out N CALI: Thanks. Thanks.

Wing looks great, btw.

I_VTEC,

Although I do have a black EP, that's actually not MY EP that the wing is installed on. It's my boy's...I'm not sure what the muffler is, but I'll find out for ya. =)

That's an Apex...but I'm not sure the model...a GT something I belive...not the "n-1" or something. Sorry I'm not more specific.

How long will it take for the wing to be made?? and usually shipped out.

CivicSiR
01-19-2003, 02:47 PM
Usually the wing takes about 2-3 weeks to be made and shipped out. However, the guy who makes each wing is not in town right now--he should be back in a week or so hopefully.

dude done flame anyone he is clearing stating his opinion
this is a FORUM

CivicSiR

Type X,

I wasn't trying to flame anyone. I simply did not understand what he was trying to say. He said this: "i don't like it that much...but nice wing though" That statement was confusing to me, so I asked him if he was trying to say something positive or negative.

yeah more pics would be cool:cool:

CivicSiR
02-03-2003, 03:53 PM
WORD. Well, I'd like more pics too! =)

Check it, here's the lowdown. Our guy who makes the wing is out of town with, ahem, AROSPEED, right now. I don't know if I was supposed to say that, but I did, and I can't take it back, and even though I can technically edit this post, I won't. Anyhow, that's where he is, and I'm waiting on MY wing to get here--but it won't get here until he gets back home and makes it! Once this happens, I will post a bazillion pics (bazillion means a few), and everyone will be happy. ESPECIALLY ME, 'cause you see, the wing will sorta be on MY car... =oP

Believe me when I say this: pics will be here as soon as I get my wing (and install it and take pics and develop pics and scan pics)!!!

CivicSiR, I sent you a PM a while back, but my stupid inbox was full and I never got your reply. I'm really interested in getting one of your wings. Just a few questions
1. How long is the witing list (including yourselfe)
2. Will you ship to canada
3. If i order now, how long will it be (roughly) untill i receive the spoiler?

thanks a bunch, and sorry again for the full inbox, I empty it and the bitch still reads as full?

CivicSiR
02-10-2003, 08:33 PM
William,

The waiting list isn't that long, but that's because the maker is out of town right now. And, unfortunately I do not know when he'll be back. He's been gone for longer than I thought he would. I assume that means he'll be back soon, but of course I don't know for sure.

As soon as he gets back, though, you'd be 3rd on the list, which would mean you could expect your wing within 3-4 weeks after he's back. We can ship it to Canada for you.

Thanks again, Bret

william
02-10-2003, 10:02 PM
Do i need to send you a deposit to stay #3 on the list? Hope he comes back soon, I'd like my wing before the begining of May. Thanks for the quick response.

CivicSiR
02-10-2003, 10:18 PM
Sending me a 50% deposit via paypal to bretgorden@aol.com would lock you in to the 3rd position on the list. Getting your wing to you by May should not be a problem, though if I found there was a problem, I'd tell you early on, and I'd get your deposit back to you that same day. You and I are in the same position--other than that I'm number 2 on that list--so keep in mind I'm just as anxious for him to get back and to get started on my wing. Rest assured, as soon as I get new info regarding the wing and its haps, you will know.

Does the price of $350 shipped change? I'll be sending you my deposit in a few days.

I'm kinda liking the un-clearcoated wing myself. Is it possible to get one w/o the clearcoat? Does that affect durability? Perhaps a low-gloss clearcoat? Thanks. Looks great, BTW.

CivicSiR
02-11-2003, 06:38 AM
I'm not really sure what we're doing with the unclearcoated wing... he may have given it to the guy whose car you see it on. Otherwise, he'd probably clearcoat it and send it to me or another buyer. I'll find out for you as soon as he gets back, which as you may have noticed, could be awhile from now. =(

fishboy
02-11-2003, 12:28 PM
can you please let me know when you guys start cranking them out? i still want one, but only when you guys start producing them. a picture of the wing on a silver ep would be nice too:)

CivicSiR
02-11-2003, 04:42 PM
The first thing I do when I get a hold of my boy, is let you guys on ephatch know what's the deal w/ the wings and how you can get a hold of them. How long it'll take, etc. I'm very eager to get mine, but at this point I'm not sure what's going on b/c there's a problem w/ his cellphone and he's not answerin'. I'll keep you informed, though, no doubt.

Is your friend dead? Cause this thread is, and i still want my spoiler. Go find him and force him to make us wings untill he colapses from exhaustion, or from inhaling resin fumes, whichever comes first.:D

RacingCivicSi02
02-25-2003, 11:33 PM
hope hes not dead cuz. i want this wing also

CivicHB
02-26-2003, 08:01 AM
I had to get my money back. Bret is a very understanding person but his mystery friend the wing maker is not. I gave him $350 through paypal and a month and a half later no wing. So Bret sent the $ back promtly. I really wanted this wing, and would send the money back but...

CivicSiR
02-26-2003, 08:27 AM
CivicHB, yeah, sorry man. It really sucks to be the middleman here because I wanna get everyone on this site this wing...but meanwhile I can't even get myself one. When I started this post the maker was serious about making all the wings, however awhile ago the maker had a huge business opportunity and apparently he couldn't pass it up... unforutunately, then, we all got screwed because of that.

I have called him almost every day but no luck on his cell phone. But once I finally get a hold of him I will post. And if I feel confident that he's ready to start making wings, I'll start the post up again. Otherwise, I apologize for all the false hopes. Good luck w/ all your EPs.

Bret

soo........ Have u found your friend yet?? I sold my ebay wing a couple of months ago thinking i would be able to get the carbon fiber type r style wing. I regret selling it now. Could of had it on my car by now. But it isn't your fault CivicSIR.

CivicSiR
03-07-2003, 12:39 AM
RacingCivic...

Sorry bro. If it makes you feel any better, I did the same thing. I sold my 'ebay' wing a couple months ago because I thought I was getting the CF wing. Well, he still is away and I can't get through to him. It just sucks ass. I will definitely let you all know whenever I find out.
