Jsk racing has a poor fitting with the base mounting plate ( gap on the left and right) and doesn't sit "flush". ( basic hardware bolts and screws)
It will be interesting to see pics of this " RW/Gtr Carbon wing installed on a gt/gts.gtc"...

darwing pro looks terrible IMO. end plates are huge, wing sits high and is not wide enough. I sold mine after a month. I have a JSK one coming in that was custom made (fiber glass bottom piece, no brake light)...we shall see.

Please keep us updated. I'd be really interested to see how it works out and perhaps go that route if it's good.

Feels like a waste of time going with JSK, even through RW but lets use them as an example: $2000 after shipping and tax vs $3500 for the OEM version. Any way you slice it from RW if the part is JSK is going to be degrees of tolerance around the imperfection - they are working from a mold, so the gap will be the gap - you cant fix that unless they recast. The wave in the wing *might* be better but I bet there will still be some compromise. On a car that is $100K in value, it just feels like saving $1000 and rolling the dice is a deal breaker for me.
It kind of sucks, but you really do end up getting what you pay for in this case. For some it will be good enough but if you arent that kind of person, your OCD isn't gonna let you off every time you get within 20' of your ride.

We do not source the wing from JSK or any other company. This item is built in our factory which only produces for us. I actually have one of these here now if any local members want to come check it out!

Gary on your online chat indicated this the wing is outsourced. Guess he was mistaken?

I think you mean Greg. He probably meant, outsourced as in not produced in the states. We work very closely with our factory this item comes from and have already revised it a few times before adding to the site.

you should post some pics of the current product around the problem areas noted (hardware, waves in the wing, fitment etc). That might help.
