Lightbulb Mercedes SLS Wing

Hey guys, I currently have a mercedes sls amg, i just installed vorsteiner rims vs-110, also just intsalled a supertsprint Centre pipe with headers, soon ill be posting some pictures on my new rims. I'm currently looking on carbon finer add on parts. I'm also looking for a carbon fiber wing, but there isn't any on the market, something like the carbon fiber wing of the black series or the mercedes sls amg final edition, any ideas ??

We have a carbon fiber wing available for that car. I will have some pictures of the final product at the end of next week.

It comes with 3 different height struts. the tallest struts put the wing at the height of the SLS GT3, the lowest height puts the height at the SLS Black Series size and we have another set of struts that sets the height in between the two. It bolts into the factory location so you do not need to cut, drill or fabricate anything.

OK, here are some photos.

In the photos the uprights are black and the insert in the trunk is black as well. In the kit the insert in the trunk is just primed and the uprights are silver (just like the wing mounts in the picture) so you can paint them any color that you like.

There are NO modifications to your factory parts. These parts replace your factory wing using all of the stock vehicles mounting points so you do not have to drill or cut any factory components. Your stock wing can be easily reinstalled at any time.

We include 3 different height struts so that you can install the wing at any height that you like. I have all 3 heights pictured.


LOW











MID












HIGH











END PLATE

That would depend on the set up that you choose to go with. We have the three different height stands and the wing angle is also fully adjustable for different amounts of downforce.

You unbolt the factory wing and bolt ours in in its place.

so if you remove the factory wing and install this one in its place, it goes up and down just like the factory wing would?
The factory wing is NOT in the car. Our wing comes with a custom made insert that replaces the factory wing. This insert is designed to keep the stock look of the vehicle. It is also what allows our wing to bolt into the trunk using all of the factory bolts. It looks like the stock wing is in the trunk but it's not there at all. The piece that you see in the picture is one that we supply with the wing.

I'm assuming the mechanism that normally raises the regular wing is disabled?

Yes, the wing is disabled because the factory wing is not in the car anymore.

No, the wing does not go up at 75MPH, the wing is already up. The wing is in a fixed position like the Black Series, newest SLS and the SLS GT3.

Could you quickly share how you were able to disable the wing? Did you place the motor onto the wing that was made or through the computer?

Thank you
