Do the Vented Carbon Fiber Endplates come with a UCW wing?

No. The Vented Carbon Fiber Endplates are a pair of replacement plates for a Verus Engineering UCW rear wing you already own or are buying separately. They bolt to the wing element in place of the standard endplates, using the same hardware, so nothing else needs to change on the uprights or the trunk mounts.

Will the vented endplates fit any UCW wing?

Yes. Verus Engineering states that the vented plates bolt directly to all UCW wing elements, so they suit UCW wings across the Verus range, from the GR Supra and Shelby GT350R kits to the Corvette and Porsche versions. They mount exactly as the standard UCW endplates do, with no change in hardware.

How much do vented endplates improve a UCW wing?

In Verus Engineering CFD testing at 10 degrees angle of attack, lift-to-drag ratio rose by 1.2%, from 0.3% more downforce and 0.9% less drag. The wing sat on a generic swan neck upright in free stream airflow, so the gain on a given car depends on its setup.

What are the Verus vented endplates made from?

They are 2x2 twill pre-preg carbon fiber, autoclave cured and formed on machined aluminum molds so each pair matches. Verus Engineering finishes them in a gloss automotive clear that protects the carbon from UV, and the vents and expanding 3D contour give the UCW wing a distinctive look.

Why vent a wing endplate?

A wing generates vortices where the element meets the endplate, and those vortices cost efficiency. Verus Engineering shaped the vents to shed some of the high-pressure air on the top side of the wing and reshaped the bottom of the plate, which reduced the vortices and gave the UCW wing more downforce with less drag in CFD testing.

Description

Verus Engineering Vented Carbon Fiber Endplates for UCW Rear Wings

Verus Engineering’s Vented Carbon Fiber Endplates for UCW Rear Wings swap onto any Verus UCW wing in place of its standard endplates, using the existing hardware, and bring a sharper look along with a measured gain in efficiency. In CFD, Verus cut vents that act on the upper surface of the wing and reshaped the bottom of each plate, finding a 1.2% improvement in lift-to-drag ratio at 10 degrees angle of attack, made up of 0.3% more downforce and 0.9% less drag. The change in grip is small, so buy them for the finish first and count the efficiency as a bonus.

How Verus Tested Them

Verus took its measurements on a generic swan neck mount in free stream air, which keeps the car out of the numbers. The vents bleed off some high-pressure air above the element, and the reshaped lower edge trims the vortices where wing and plate meet. Machined aluminum molds give every pair the same fit, and the 2×2 twill pre-preg layup is autoclave cured, then sealed under gloss automotive clear that protects it from UV.

About Verus Engineering

Verus Engineering designs aerodynamic and performance parts in Indianapolis, Indiana. Two engineers founded it in late 2014 as Velox Motorsports and renamed it in 2017 after a trademark dispute; verus is Latin for true or complete. Each design starts from a 3D scan of the car, is developed with CFD and finite element analysis and is validated on track, across more than 20 platforms from the GR86 to the C8 Corvette.

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.
