I normally don't just post photos to do so, but i stepped out on a ledge and purchased the RTR wing and installed it over the weekend. I hadn't seen it yet on Red candy other than on an RTR GT with all the graphics and other stuff added, so thought someone might want to see it without all of that. I also added matte 5.0 badges, and darkened the turn signals/reflectors/tails. Had just washed the car in these pics and my buddy decided to jump in.

Want to lower the front just a tad bit more, sometimes i get caught in the reversed rake look on inclines

Your car looks amazing and the wing looks great; love the shot with both cars in it as a nice comparison.

I recently got a good deal and bought a set of those same OEM 19" GT-500 wheels/tires for my new GT I haven't bought yet! I don't see too many pictures of cars on here with them and it's nice to see how they will look.

Thanks everybody, hopefully i will have a few more pics that look a little better than these soon, left my tripod at a relatives house and my hands are too shaky to get a decent pic unless its on auto.

Thanks man, love these wheels to, just a big PIA to find decent tires for a good price for the size. A lot of GT500 guys run 305/35/19's even though they are only 9.5" wide, but even then there are only a few decent tires in that size. Post up pics once you get em mounted/get the car

Yeah, I live off Glenside, so I am not far either. I wish it was a bit later, hate to wake up early on the weekends if I don't have to. Are you on the text thread they send out? I see multiple phone numbers on it.

RTR wing looks pretty good. Did it line up perfect with the OEM per-drilled wing holes? Or did you have to drill your own?

its direct bolt in. The RTR only uses 2 of the 4 bolts from factory, but covers the others and has 3m tape around to help seal it.

I actually broke off one of the 2 studs on the RTR Wing :nonono: but ended up using a little JB weld from the inside of the trunk to keep it tight. Dont have plans to remove it and if i do ill just drill it out.

Have you used them before? I really wanted a radial for the back in hopes of getting good performance when it comes to straight line traction. I have to stock GT500 Supercars on now and they are decent when it comes to turns but lacking in the straight line traction.
