I was checking in with MVP Motorsport... on getting a WW kit and Dusty told me that rumor was... Wing West is out of business...& Bankrupt....might be bought by VIS....

Does that mean the kit is going to be cheaper...or more expensive...due to no more productions...=0|

Damn man Wings West IMO was one of the best "real" ground effects manufacturer there was. I remember my very first kit by them, it went on my 1994 Pontiac Formula. I loved it. I will hate to see them go out of biz for not only did they make good kits but they were one of the few to make their kits out of urethane.

So they're still in buisness, but they're just restructuring and undergoing a name change.

Yahooooooo! I am glad they are not closing that is good news to my ears. I love Wings West. Like I said earlier they are like the best manufacturer of actual groundeffects and they use urethane to boot, not too many people doing high quality urethane anymore.
