Does anyone have a "mid" wing?
The only one that I have found is the Erebuni one...which is nasty. Actually, can't find it right now. I thought it was Erebuni.
Edit: Here is that nastiness (sorry to anyone that has it...maybe it's just a bad pic)
I also saw a three-piece wrap around at some point, but not sure where that was.
The question is...does anyone have a mid-wing on their car?

I've never seen one on NAM MINIs except for random product shots.

I wish I could find the car with the three-piece wrap around wing. I think it was on CarDomain, but I can't find it for the life of me...

I'm trying to see if there are any different ones out there besides the one that I had pictured. Or, if not, if that's just a bad picture. I like the look of mid-wings, and I really like the one in the picture above.

Brownflyer built one for his Cabrio.
I would buy one in a second if he sold them!

Whats the purpose? Thats a pretty turbulent area, so it's certainly not downforce...

I'm just looking at it from a style perspective.

If it would just keep all the dust off the back it would be worth it
. Or is it just my car

Not just your car...mine is a dusty mess all of the time. They clean it every time I go in to the dealership and it's such a mess the next day. My fault for getting a black car

Actually, Brownflyer has claimed that it has helped with that.
I do think his looks the best, and last I heard, he was working on integrating the brake light into it for the cabrio.

I think it definitely has potential, but it seems to disrupt the lines of the car pretty bad on the coupe! Looks fantastic on the cab. though

Looks sharp, but I wonder how the 3rd brake light would work, as it is right at the base of the convertible top.

Here are some more pics of the current one and the "project" one with the integrated third brake light. The biggest issue for me has been
time . I just don't have the time to be producing them right now. Secondly, the spoiler doesn't come out from the mold ready to mount. So, there's more fabrication that needs to be done, thus, more time involved.
I have been looking at outsourcing the product but it gets too cost prohibitive unless I go with an Asian country and then the quality might suffer (from past experience).
So, if anybody knows of a company that might be willing to produce these, I would be interested in talking with them.
Here are a couple other threads with more info:
