To wing or not to wing? That is the question... :O/
Could buy a lotta' gas with that kind of money...

I was adamant against the wings. I thought they looked god awful. Then seeing them in person I thought they looked pretty darn sharp! It might even give you some stability, but I doubt you'll feel it. That bolt on wing from Alpha would be a quick and easy install.

I have it and love it

I really want one I just can't justify the cost...

We need pictures
I used to have pictures and uploaded them but trashed my phone along with the current pics hopefully this weekend will be nice to take some more
-
This is an old picture, it is the wing from Bert's not Alpha - I believe the wing is the same mounting is different
-
I actually ordered it and am waiting for it to be sent. It's prob taking longer then usual because @Turbosling is making it in a way to make it so aerodynamic that I think I am in one of his V8 monster.

@MACAWS Mitch where did you get that lower front spoiler? And how much if you don't mind me asking? Thanks.
Bert's Mega Mall - I think it was $500 maybe $600 Carbon Fiber - tuff son of a gun I have bumped it and scraped it a few times. I have 7K and it has been on from day 1

Reviving this old thread because momma has a wing question ~> So, here it goes...
I want the Alpha Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler but was wondering if it'll fit on the super fast TURBO SILVER 2017 SLR??
2017-05-12_12h05_47.pngAlso, @slingmods is out of stock... Sooooooo, if a 2016.5 can fit my sling, any suggestions as where I can procure one of these before MV?
One more question: Can anyone comment on the differences in down-force between the 56" and 62" (not sure I want to go off looks alone for this) ~> but if there's not a noticeable difference between the two... I think the smaller wing will look more uniform on my sling (if all I was looking for, was looks)...
-

Hmmm... Any particular reason why??? For looks or function or both?
May want to give this kid some time as others may be developing something eventually...
@kev...
While true, I do think they look great on the sling ~> has that race aggression appeal. But I am actually more interested in performance overall...

Give me a call to discuss if you want
It may not fit your roll hoops if they are the newer design - would have to check with Alpha
You can also check Berts Mega Mall - that is the wing I am running it mounts to the frame not the roll hoops, may require a visit for wrench day? -

Ummm, don't plan on any downforce being generated with either wing at the speeds the slingshot operates. Oh, wind tunnel testing may show a slight increase at speeds over 100 mph, but really? How many times and for how long are you planning on going 100 to 130 mph in a slingshot, and how much extra downforce are you looking for? If you like the look, by all means add one to your s/s, but IMHO, don't expect to be able to feel any improvements at any speeds

Call Alpha Henry may have one...

Thanks for the input! I felt that with a higher wing tilt/angle, push-down pressure may not need to be in the 100-130 range? More like 80-100 was my hope because of a plush(er) suspension dampening, assisted by higher torque. Now, I do ride in the 100-120 ranges quite often and for extended periods of time ~> was just thinking that with 330hp about to be put under my hood, I could drop some lift and pick-up more traction...??
