I want to see E36's with LTW High Rise Wings

[propcar]

I believe they are 18 all around.

they look like 17's

[HTOWN///M]

When I blew the Head gasket and had to get her home some how:

[Haris]

Moarz

[motorsports321]

Mashaw Carbon Fiber LTW High.

[Dricebrug]

Where the estorils at?

[94is]

Factory GT wing with factory LTW risers.

[DaRedRocket]

I'm not totally sure...Ask Corey (M13).

Stunning. I cant decide between the CCW's and the LTW's. Both compliment the wing amazingly well

[smocan]

Before I took it off....

[M13]

My RCs are 17s.

[ethirtysixmiii]

I like this one.

[BlueM3Racer]

I approve of this thread....The pics of the cars with the RC's and Fikse's are amazing!

[dRock13]

love em, keep them coming!

And this year's SAG award goes to?

Amazing how much the reps sag when compared directly to the OE/MA-Shaw wings.

[Mervon]

ahh I love that wing, I just dont know how practical it is on a DD

Never really noticed it before, but you can really see it on the car on the left.

It's not. I had a GT rep without the risers and couldn't see out half my rear view mirror because of it. Plus, it weighs so much that it closes the trunk for you. When the body shop pulled off my rep to install my high arch, they discovered that it had completely ruined the paint on the trunklid because of the fitment and the weight slamming into the trunk when the trunk was closed.

Plus, it blocks your third brake light unless you have the risers installed, and since the risers impede rear view mirror vision even more, you're bound to get attention from a cop every once in a while because of it.

Aside from the fact that I don't think the GT wing belongs on a street car (flame suit on!), the sagging and the quality of the replica that I had was the main reason why I got rid of my GT rep. That, and the fact that the high arch is just so much sexier.

I must say, some of the wings in here look damn good, but I don't think Estoril can pull it off, even without the risers. My favorites are the one on the real LTW as well as on Kim's car. OEM > all.

I'm curious to see an Estoril with a GT wing and risers installed. I don't think I've ever seen one.

I agree that the LTW tall is not for a daily driven street car. The LTW low works OK, but is bested by the OE high-arch coupe wing.

I got an ebay CF LTW rep w/ risers and its lighter than my old OE high-arch wing. The thing can't weigh more than 5-7 lbs, but does suffer with some slight sag. But at $265 for a flawless weave and finish, I'm not complaining.

ANY wing should be mounted w/ some foam gasket tape or lamin-X under it if the owner is at all concerned w/ the paint finish upon removal of the wing.

To the guy wondering what wheels are on that alpine m3, they are SSR Integrals. They are NLA.

Clearly my PO was not concerned.

Lighter in the wallet but happier now that I have the OE high arch.

Silly street cars
The sag is a result of whatever mold they use to make the wing. I noticed it as soon as I took it out of the box, but from an aerodynamic standpoint, the larger surface area as a result of the sag will actually create more downforce. The effect is probably minimal since the height of the wing isn't enough to catch the air stream coming over the roof, but that's my explanation to make myself feel better about the unsightly bulge

It looks good from any angle but behind

Hey I saw your car tonight. I was on the 405S right before it merged with the 5S. You were following me for a bit and speed on up hehe. Nice ride. The wing and the lic plates caught my attention.

I was the one in the challenger.

[3WheelinBMW]

Wow! Nice car!

That what side mirrors are for.

Here is mine:
