** Attention: Images shown above have been painted for illustration purposes only. Our Carbon Fibre kits Do NOT come painted.
** Please Note: All True Carbon fiber products are hand crafted & laid. Therefore, it is possible to see minor imperfections or twisted weaves on the surface (of ANY Carbon Fibre Product). Slight modifications including Trimming and or Adjustment MAY be required for installation, however we have never had to do this - It's a possibility!
9 Lives Racing - 67" Big Wang Wing 22+ WRX
Definitely an impressive piece by @NineLivesRacing
This piece was 67" wide - body width. The wing itself comes shipped in bare metal and needs to be finished - the edges need burring and the surface needs paint or a wrap of some sort. The gurney flap and end plates are in the same boat - you just have to be creative with the look you're going for.
We went with 1/2" gurney flap (as I'm sure we wont be hitting Nascar speeds of 200+ MP. Having said that, the gurney piece we received did not sit well and was rattling - the cut was not the best for fitment, so we improvised with tape. Sits much better now, but $10.00 at home depot and you can cut your own.
The chassis mount kits came pre painted and hardware was provided for install. There was no template supplied, so a bunch of tape on the body and on mounts helped against scratching up the paint work - however, because I am special, I did manage to scratch up the paint. Note to self: Don't be a cheapass - use extra tape lol
All in all, this is a functional piece that has been created for big downforce. Makes the car look more aggressive. Its your job to make this race part look pretty!
Race Spec
RZ1 Canards
While adding canards to your car's aero setup can aid with getting more downforce over the front axle, their overall effect is somewhat limited - based on 90% of what's out there!
Some canards are capable of providing up to 60 lbs of downforce at 100 mph and remove 10 lbs of drag at the same speed. The WRX is known to understeer in track conditions and the RZ1 canards can help reducing that understeer by shifting the aerodynamic balance forwards!
These are installed directly on the front bumper (drill 2 holes) and raise up into the front fender (no drilling required). The canards generate downforce through two distinct methods:
1. High Pressure - Top Surface
2. Low Pressure - By directing air around the front wheel wells, hence reducing pressure and lift that is generated in these areas.
Due to the aggressive design of the RZ1 Canards, you can expect over 90lbs of downforce and a 12-15 lbs less drag at 100 mph.
There are countless things one can do to change the look of a car, but why not make those parts functional! Every single stage of our build has been about getting the VB500 SuperGT to perform its absolute best - no matter what stage of power we have. Why? because power is nothing without control and controlling aerodynamics, drag, kinetic energy etc is a key process to owning a piece of racing history.
Note: We are working on forming the ABS to making these prototypes from a two piece design, into a one piece unit.
To further enhance downforce, we are working on producing an amazing front splitter that wont disappoint even the most hardened drivers out there!
We looked into a bunch of materials - off course carbon fiber is just so cool, but hey... what happens if you break it? the cost on replacing that? well, you better be ready to refinance that house!
Birch has been a tried and tested route for years in the racing industry and its still being used! Problem is that not everyone wants that additional weight and cost of marine grade plywood. Its a lot more work to get it primed and seasoned to live life outdoors.
Our aim is to be cost effective and provide something that can be used really well on the street or on track driven vehicles. Durability and cost effectiveness is key to longevity and a purposeful part made with ABS is sure to help decrease those lap times and save you a bunch of coin!
Downforce is the goal and we will be offering 3 versions (starting at $749.99), so stay tuned as we introduce the RZ1 Race Splitters. Those badboys will be showcased in the next 2/3 weeks on our VB500 SuperGT.

Front Splitter
Here it is!!
Not for the Faint of Heart!
Very Aggressive with Superior Race Functionality
1. The face edge is flat to control air and provide the function of what we want - downforce! While the edge itself has been rounded downward to control against drag.
2. The side barrier has been added to help with cutting and guiding air - where we want it, and into a closed off airflow guide wall. Why? This will cause the air to force the car downwards with an upward vent, rather than allowing air to make its way into the wheel arch.
3. The center voider ('white' piece - sandwiched ABS between aluminum) has been added to
a) fill the void gap between bumper and splitter, and
b) to increase strength and rigidity of the working surface area
How you chose to finish this kit is up to you. For demonstration purposes, we added a carbon fibre look, coupled with red pin stripe to match the rest of our car.
Kit will come with all necessary hardware and each kit will be built (to ensure perfect fitment) and disassembled before leaving our facility.
Each kit is built to order. Allow 2 weeks.
We recommend using the complete kit for maximum downforce if you like carving up the canyons or your're an avid track enthusiast.
Splitter Kit
-
Front Splitter
-
Splitter End Fins (Option)
-
Airflow (Wall) Guide (Option)
-
ADD Canards to Kit (Option)
-
HD Longer Splitter Rods (Option)
Definitely suggest getting Splitter Rods (8-13") - They are heavy duty and can extend to Re-Bar ($20). These rods are required for speeds over 60mph, as the wind will push down on the splitter. Chassis Mounting is the best for safety and functionality.
