Designing FT-1 inspired wing- Looking to see if there is demand as well as suggestions for improvement

I like the design, but I have to ask. Any specific reason why 95% of the car is gone. Be nice to see it on a Supra.

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 already done.

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 undertaking than I anticipated, so for now I’m putting it on pause. Im just one person and usually something like this takes a team to bring to life.



I don’t know if or when I’ll come back to it, but I want to sincerely thank everyone who followed along, offered feedback, and supported the project. The experience taught me a tremendous amount about aerodynamics, composites, and product development, and that knowledge won’t go to waste.



If I ever decide to continue, you’ll hear about it here first.



Thanks for coming along for the ride.

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 wing profile, mounts, and uprights.

Theres a guy with a yellow A90 in my new street so i might knock on his door one of these days lol

Im starting to regain some bandwidth but the challenges are still there

Manufacturing, certification, and logistics are still real challenges I'm working through as a one-person operation, so I don't have a timeline to give you.

When there's something concrete to share, I will.

Thanks for sticking around.
