SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR FINAL UPDATE ON GROUP BUY.
I unintentionally hijacked a different thread with this after gaining some interest from a few forum members so I figured I'd post it up here.
I have been wanting to make a wing extension for a little while now and finally got some prototypes made up.
Here are some pics of what I've got so far. These are bare finish aluminum, planning to powder coat gloss black.
I have holes in the outside corners for bolting up to the stock wing. However, none of the stock wing will need to be removed in order to bolt it up. I plan on using rubber rivet nuts that install from the outside and squeeze on the inside when a bolt is threaded into it. This will both cushion the stock wing from the extension, and provide solid mounting.
Let me know what you think!

UPDATE 12/14/2020:
Alright everyone, we currently have 7 on the list! I am going to cap it at 10 people to make things easy. I did get the powder coat quote back today. It was slightly more than what I had estimated, but if everyone who signed up is good for it we're not far off from what I told everyone.
UPDATE 12/17/2020:
We're at 9 total with 7 paid up and ready to go! The remaining unpaid members have informed me that they expect to square up tomorrow (12/18/2020). Once that happens, I will get started on production of the wings. I will also update the list to show who has prepaid for shipping as well.
With Christmas being next week and New Years the week after, Powder Coat may not be as quick as normal. But I still expect it will only take about a week or a little more. Thanks everyone!
IMPORTANT!
Your spot will not be valid until I have received both of the following:
-Your payment via Paypal (please include a note with your forum name) I will be reaching out to each of you in a PM to give my Paypal info
-A PM with your preferred style (V1 or V2) and your name with address you would like it shipped to
If we fill the last 3 spots before I get the parts to powder coat everything gets cheaper for everyone! (I will refund the difference to everyone if the remaining spots are filled).

1. @dunkelweizen PAID! Style - V1
2. @EpicTech PAID! Style - V2

FINAL UPDATE ON GROUP BUY 1/31/21:
We’re done! Thanks to everyone who participated in helping with getting this going. I’m glad to hear so much positive feedback!
For those who have asked for a second run, I do have more currently in production. I plan to set up an online store to make ordering and shipping more streamlined. Keeping track of forum PM’s and coordinating PayPal or Venmo transactions was more time intensive than I thought.
In an effort to be transparent with everyone, I wanted to reiterate that this post was meant for a single run group buy to keep costs down. The cost for the original group buy is cheaper than what I can do going forward. I did all the labor for free, I wasn’t looking to profit. Once I have a site up with parts available, the pricing will be different. That being said, my goal is to keep these as affordable as possible without sacrificing quality.
I will update again once the site is live. Thanks everyone!
