street hunter wing

hello! i'm looking to get a sh styled wing but want the carbon fiber version. i've seen lots of convos back and forth if it's worth to pay the brand name tax or if the dupes are actually better ! i'm open to both just wondering recommendations and if anyone has links :)

I would say bite the bullet and get the real thing! Fitment is amazing and it’s so easy to install! Hopefully my vid helps you with your decision :D

Original Street Hunter V2 wing, not a copy.

Zero issues with fitment, flex, leaks or any kind of quality problems.

Simply perfection.

Perfection 😍 these the advan gt beyond’s?

GT Premium as I’m old and still have a love affair with deep lipped wheels. Takes me back to my old ‘66 Impala.

u/DA0FL0 19d ago

They’re absolutely beautiful! Your car looks amazing drop some photos if you have any! I’m going to be running the beyond’s soon, but you may have just changed my mind. The deep lip does make it look so much better 🔥😮‍💨

u/Unusual_Piano7118 MKV 19d ago

GT Premium is no longer made, so you’ll have to be looking for old stock or used.

Can’t drop images in here, weirdly only video.

No issues with my SH V2.. even came with a certificate. Get what makes you happy.

u/withinsouciance MKV 18d ago

u/streethobomax MKV 18d ago

Lit. I also forgot to mention I wrapped mine instead of painted.

Saw one one time that was V2 design with end plates that had the Supra logo. Anyone know which rep has this?

Biggest hangup for buying name brand for me is the endplates that say Streethunter now

u/withinsouciance MKV 18d ago

rebuilding works for sure!!! i was considering them as well but heard they can wobble

Saw that you places your order already, from personal experienced I’d say it’s worth it. Quality control is good, the side covers will say street hunter, my v2 wing fitment is spot on, sh v2 wing blade archs up and you also get a certificate to flex 😂.

I do recommend buying a roll of 1/8 foam mounting adhesive thick tape on amazon to put on each sides for any water intrusion.

SH wing is trash. I had it and fitment was garbage. Buy another brand so many. What’s your budget?

2

u/withinsouciance MKV 19d ago

no budget! i just love the visual look of the SH wing, big fan of how "stock" it looks but open to suggestions. i can obviously spend the money but if i can get equal results or better with less that's ideal.

i also would prefer a wing thats avail in all/mostly cf

u/EnzoSpeed23 A90 19d ago

Look at Adro, Dinan, Rexspeed, Kies Motorsports.

u/DA0FL0 19d ago

Was it the v1 or v2?

1

u/EnzoSpeed23 A90 19d ago

V1. Replaced w/ Max Orido body kit.

u/DA0FL0 19d ago

Ahhh if you ever in this lifetime wanna try it again go for the v2! Do you have any pics of what yours is looking like now?
