Banana CF wing

Any of you'll whom have the Banana CF wing on top of your GT2 or RS3.8 spoilers, care to post some pics here. I plan on getting one of it for my turbo so I need as many pics as I can. Not to sure if it's called a Banana but you guys know what I mean. Also are they easy to hook up?

The Banana wing is from Better Bodies Motorsport. It is a pretty nice piece. Works very well on the track, and best of all it is priced at 500.00 in CF. I thought I would only be able to find it in FG for that. They are a good bunch of guys to deal with too.

My only issue with them is they dont take credit cards. You need to do a direct deposit with b of a then fax them the deposit slip and they then ship your order. Strange but it does work. I have used them on more than one piece so I trust them.

Hope this helps.....................................C

Better Bodies is in San Diego and are low budget. They advertise in Pano and Excellence sporadically.

Here is the link to their website.

http://www.betterbodiesmotorsport.com/

Hope this helps. Yes they are low budget but the parts you get from them are every bit as good as what I have seen from GT, MA Shaw or anyone else. These are aftermarket body parts. I dont care who you buy them from you will always need to do a little adjustment. Bottom line if you want quality and are not worried about "Status" then by BB because they make quality pieces for a good price.

Sameer, you used to have their GT2 front end right?

As for fitment of the Banana they are simple. You just need to make your heighth and width measurements accurately and get someone with a brake and shear to make your riser plates with the right offset according to your specific measurements.

Hope I helped.

I have the BB wing and it's "OK" but there are some cheesy shortcuts which stand out like a neon beer sign to anyone who's done CF work, but mere mortals might not notice.
