What comes with this 74 trunk wing for Type 42 Audi?

This 74 trunk wing for Type 42 Audi is a 74-inch GTC-500 chassis mount wing sold with a carbon fiber trunk, as the page's title and a Note state. The page does not say whether the trunk is painted or what hardware comes with it, so contact us for the full contents before ordering.

Does the factory trunk need to be cut?

The page contains two notes that conflict: one says the factory trunk must be slotted to install the wing, and another says the wing comes with a carbon fiber trunk replacement. Contact us for the installation steps before ordering, so we can confirm which applies.

Which cars does it fit?

It fits the 2006-2015 Type 42 Audi R8, as listed on the page. The page states it does not fit a convertible, meaning the R8 Spyder, and it does not list the second-generation R8. Confirm your model, body style and model year with us before ordering.

How is it different from the other Type 42 R8 wings?

This listing is the 74-inch wing with the carbon fiber trunk. APR also lists a 74-inch wing without the trunk and a 71-inch wing with a trunk replacement, both linked in the Notes. The pages do not explain the difference in use, so contact us if you want help choosing.

What is the wing made from, and does it have Gurney flaps?

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite airfoils made with high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging in aluminum billet molds, on 10mm 6061 aircraft-grade billet aluminum pedestals with a matte black powder coating. The span is 74 inches. The page does not mention Gurney flaps or an angle-adjustment range, so contact us if you need those details.

What is the PPF film option, and how long does delivery take?

PPF film is an optional extra for an additional $200, chosen at checkout. The wing and trunk are made to order or special order from the manufacturer, so we confirm the estimated lead time after you order. Talk to us first if you have a specific deadline.

Technical Features

This GTC Series aerofoil has undergone rigorous engineering using a three-dimensional framework and finitely tuned for a harmonious balance between downforce and air resistance, validated by comprehensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) research. This aerodynamic strategy furnishes the ideal downforce with minimum drag.
The utilization of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites in the fabrication of the GTC Series of airfoils has generated much acclaim for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Highly experienced professionals take great care in the integration of complex compositing processes such as high-temperature autoclave and vacuum bagging when fashioning finely wrought molds of aluminum billet.
- The GTC Series airfoils have been crafted by combining carbon fiber composites, famed for their power and lightness, and 10mm 6061 aircraft-grade billet aluminum pedestals finished with a stylish matte black powder coating.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
