What comes with this GTC-500 wing for Type 4S Audi?

This GTC-500 wing for Type 4S Audi is a 71-inch chassis mount wing that comes with a carbon fiber active spoiler panel replacement and additional chassis support brackets, as the page states. It does not say what the panel replaces or whether it is painted, so contact us for the full contents before ordering.

Which cars does it fit?

It fits the Type 4S Audi R8, which the page lists as 2016 and newer and which we list as 2016-2024. The page does not say which body styles or versions are covered, so confirm your model, body style and model year with us before ordering, including the Spyder and the rear-wheel-drive cars.

Does the car's active spoiler still work?

The page says the wing comes with a carbon fiber active spoiler panel replacement, which indicates the factory active spoiler panel is replaced. It does not describe how the wing and the panel work together, so contact us for the installation details before ordering.

How is it different from the wings for the first-generation R8?

The first-generation Type 42 R8 has its own listings, linked in the Notes, and is a different car. This listing is for the Type 4S only, and it is priced higher because of the included panel and support brackets. Confirm with us before ordering if you are unsure of your generation.

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

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) airfoils with pre-soaked woven carbon fibers, made with pre-impregnated composite production, vacuum bagging, high-temperature autoclaving and aluminum billet molds, on 10mm 6061 billet aluminum pedestals with a matte black powder coating. The span is 71 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 parts 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

The GTC Series airfoils are constructed using a combination of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials, providing an optimal balance between strength and lightness. Pre-soaked woven carbon fibers are incorporated to ensure exceptional durability without sacrificing weight. Advanced pre-impregnated composite production techniques, vacuum bagging, and high-temperature autoclaving processes combined with top-quality aluminum billet molds create these meticulously crafted airfoils that deliver the highest performance levels possible.
The GTC Series airfoils are renowned for their impressive strength and lightweight qualities due to being made from carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials. These airfoils have been skillfully woven with pre-soaked carbon fibers, forming a unique blend of resilience and lightness. The manufacture of these aerofoils involves sophisticated pre-impregnated composites procedures, high-temperature autoclaving processes, vacuum bagging methods, and premium aluminum billet molds.
- The GTC Series airfoils are made more reliable and long-lasting using 10mm 6061 billet aluminum pedestals. These pedestals have a matte black powder coating for extra protection, and they feature strong yet lightweight carbon fiber composites that ensure your carbon fiber airfoil is firmly attached.

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.
