    Who makes the best after market rear wing? I’m talking fit, finish and paintability. How does it compare to a OEM wing visually?

    Vladin at www.drcar.com in the US, although customer service/wait times aren't the shop's strong points.

    Mine fit well right out of the box.

    I agree with above, except I didn't have any problems. The quality is excellent. I am very happy with mine.

    Can you paint a CF wing? Or is FG the way to go?

    If you're going to paint it, save the $ and buy the FG one.

    My humble $.02

    Spray paint and tire shine doesn't equate to a "restoration!"

    I'm 99% sure CF is always lighter the FG.

    I have the Mosley FG wing with Vladens CF flap. The FG wing is too thin and breakable. I can't run the flap more than position 2 because it will break the fiberglass apart. Vladen's wing is nice, but I compared it with mine and it weighed around twice the amount.
    My 02. cents...
    If I did it again, I would buy vladens whole CF wing, its stronger and looks awesome.

    The wings and flaps I've seen from Vlad weighed a little more than the factory Evo III parts.

    But they are cheaper.
