Hey everyone — following up on my last post. Short version: this isn't dead, just delayed. Life got extremely busy this year (new house, moving, full-time work, new dad) and the project got shelved longer than I wanted. I've been quietly redesigning in whatever spare time I get — revised the...

Hey everyone, Just a quick update on the wing project. Between full-time work and everything else life has thrown my way, I haven’t been able to dedicate the time this project truly deserves. What started as a simple idea became a much larger engineering, manufacturing, and business...

I should lol then id have somewhere to put the wing

That’s why I sourced the trunk — validated fitment without needing a full car. And for anyone willing to be the guinea pig, it mounts in the same bolt locations as the Verus wing. No redrilling. The trunk I sourced had a wing on prior to purchase but was removed. I had the hole location...

i dont yet have a supra…

The first test fit was….. successful! everything just fit… i made a decent amount of tolerance for the studs to go through, and they did, but with a tiny but of resistance. Putting the stud on after the backing plate was not problem though. The studs were a little short in the front… i...

The 3d printed wing is ready for test fitting so updates on that should be happening shortly. In the meantime I've been working on the model to make it production ready. Deck Blade hollowed and cut in half. 1.5mm thick composite Thread blocks will be added so the upper mounts thread in. itll...

Made shorty risers for this version of the wing -75mm and 35mm forward (roughly). Still waiting on some hardware for the test fit on the trunk.

I havent glued it together yet but these are the first prototype pics. Aside from the edge warping, it came out perfectly. Seeing it for real is mind blowing…. seeing it as an actual product is going to be even crazier. Ill try get it mounted on the trunk this weekend if possible. Still...

Yeah I noticed that in my testing... not huge returns unless you go excessively big... by moving the endplates up 5mm and scaled up 10% in size... I only saw 3 lbs of extra downforce and 2 lbs less drag... it all counts i guess but its negligible. I like the basic look better too

Wings nearly done printing. Some of the parts have some warping so i need to try flatten them as much as possible (its not bad but my ocd cant allow it lol). In the meantime Ive taken a reddit request to make the end plates a bit smaller and i like the outcome better in all honesty and ive make...

Appreciate the love! Keep you posted on updates 🫡

Middle section came out looking great. This could definitely be a core for 1.5mm cf skin. 1/7 done if i upgrade any of my equipment in the future itll be a new printer. Love my p1s but damn its a cramped build plate at only 256mm x3…. H2d or h2s is definitely on the wish list

Side A looking good... little size and design comparison from V1 to V4 now. 2 months of constant refinement. Im really liking where the design is now. It's really looking it belongs on the A90 (so far). Side B riser printing as of this writing. After that ill start with the deck. Since strength...

Top mounts done You'll notice areas of under extrusion.... thats because the extruder is trying to pull filament but theres resistance when it needs more... using 3kg spools. Looks bad but just test fitting so surface quality isnt a concern. these made out of cf would feel indestructible. The...
