    US Production ACS Replica Wings For Z3 Coupes!

    Over the last few weeks, I've been working with a reputable manufacturer of replica parts. And I have EXCELLENT news ...

    The ACS wing for Z3 coupes is no longer the unobtanium!

    We have a sustainable option for ACS Replica Wings in the US!

    The "unobtainable" is now available.

    Option 1: FRP Endcaps w/ FRP Center

    Option 2: FRP Endcaps w/ CFRP Center

    "The man" is pushing it. HAHA.

    Yes, I'll get plenty of pictures on the coupe once I receive the parts in my hand. I, personally, am very excited to see the Carbon Fiber option as that one will most likely end up on my car.

    I'll have pictures when it is complete. The CF ones do take a bit more time and do cost a bit more money, but I think they are going to be worth it! You guys will know momentarily after I know.

    Nice job, Jonathan!

    I've never understood the point of wrapping anything in CF. That is, unless you just like the look of woven carbon fiber that much. To each their own.

    Thanks Jeremy. You know how it goes - different strokes for different folks! That's why it's an option - plus we all know that variety is good, especially when driving a clown shoe.

    What if we don't feel comfortable NOT blindly sending money to a liar in some sketchy country? Does that mean that we can help out a true enthusiast who lives in the USA and has shown that he's willing to help the community?

    BTW, Jonathan. Both you and Cemal beat me to the punch. I've had a genuine wing for a year that I was planning on having replicated. I've had other priorities and never got around to doing so. No reason to now! I guess I'll list it on eBay and see what it fetches, as I'd rather use the funds towards the ACS Type I spoiler if I can track one down.

    It's an "acquired" taste. I purchased a brand new one and I didn't like it. Then just as the motor went in my car mscire2, the vulture he is, instantly said looking at the paperweight on the dyno "looks like you need some money - want to sell that wing?" (True story). I sold to him and then, a year later, convinced him to let me borrow it for reproduction.

    I'd be more than happy to provide you contact information to a dude working out of a shed in the UK - is that shady enough for you? LoL!

    You should let me know if you find one!

    Same thing I may do with the one these were born from.

    Goddamnit.

    I don't need this but I want it inside of me.


    Will you have photos of the carbon weave? I'm actually interested in the extra bit of money if the CF is nice and even.

    It's one of the few aftermarket pieces made specifically for this car, and not adapted from some other idea.

    Just like the clown shoe itself - it's a love it or hate it experience.
