There has been a bit of chit chat about rear wing uprights of late.
I understand the concept of getting the rear wing a bit higher which makes it more effective.

We all know the standard ones


I think these were the ones TuxMan made, limit run of 5 I think.


These are on Matins car.
These might be an option, but does anyone have any more photos or details?


I really love the these ones, nice sexy shape and it looks like it moves the rear wing back, but I don't want to replace my rear wing $$$ and I'm taking it they won't fit a standard??


Andy's. Again slightly leaning back which I like, a good shot against the standard uprights


And finally these, which I have no info on.


So gents please help me fill in the gaps, are there any off the shelf parts options or do I need to look into getting something made up?

Firstly, there isn't any standard ones in your pictures!
The first ones and the ones on blue car next to mine are both 50mm taller ones made quite a few years back by Russ, he's well moved on now and I sold mine :-).

The ones on mine and gto600 with the curved wing are both unique to our wing... Mine is stock items modified by me, Gto600's are hovers ones and are very expensive. I'm remaking mine later in year and they will lean back quite a bit more than it does now.

Martins ones look real good to me, the best I have seen on a stock wing.

2nd picture down is my old Metallic Red car and yes they are Tux design I picked them up from Simons house! Two things, the wing posts were extremely high quality and I shouldn't have sold that car banghead tt

M12 GTG spoiler and upright combo looks epic.

Pity they didn't think of making the spoiler curved like the clam in the first place.

I have stock silver uprights.
Has anyone ever painted them black or did a Carbon Fiber overlay?
I have an extra set of stock ones and I am deciding what to do with them.

The last one is mine, the previous owner ran a machine shop so made new supports 20mm taller.

They are off the car at the moment if any measurements are required or whatever
