2024 lotus Emira first edition with GT4 replica spoiler hand painted and installed by a professional!

Yeah no, I wanted to see the plates under the hatch behind the plastic trim cover (undercarriage). But don’t take it apart just to take a pic. Do you know if those plates are the same size as the outside top plates? Enjoy lunch!

I don't remember what size the plates were under the undercarriage. Sorry brother. here are some pics from lunch give you an idea of the size of the wing. Not as big as some might think. I think its the perfect size.

This picture of the GT4 has been my backround on my desktop for the past 3 years or so, and I really love how it looks, it's always nice to see it on alternative colors, but a little to big for my taste. OP, I appreciate the extra photos you have posted to show how its mounted, that should help any perspective buyers, but take the opinions of the folk that do not care for it with a grain of salt, it's your car

I thought it was a bit big at first but it's growing on me, especially in that blue. Could be balanced a bit more with carbon side shirts, splitter, etc. No denying this variant must look pretty sick coming at you.

Not a big wing guy either but they did a great job with this. The body colored lotus logo and side panels are well done. Thanks for sharing!
 
Just had a Factory spoiler painted and installed on my first edition seneca blue Lotus Emira. here is a picture of it after installation. It is a 3D version of the GT4 spoiler painted exactly the same!
How much downforce does the wing produce and have you seen and decrease in lap times at the track?
 
It looks to be mounted in the same location as the actual GT4 car, basically the end of the rear window glass

I suppose it is, just looks like it is pushed forward. More of an aesthetic thing for me I guess. Either way, it's kind of a "ricey" wing since it will never see the track. Is that term still socially acceptable? 😂

I don't think it's ricey because the car won't see track use. (Think: 99% of Lambo Evo models sold.) I am more concerned about the effective transfer of the load without cracking bodywork, and I don't think the compromises required to cut the bodywork to do the GT4 mount would be worthwhile for me. Glad he enjoys it, though.
 
Also worth noting. The GT4 wing is bound by limitations of a race series that may prevent the rear wing from protruding beyond the body work in any dimension.

That may make the wing ideal for street use as well, but it does mean for aero purposes it's not necessarily the best wing you could use.

Good point. I'm thinking here of some hypercars whose wings fold back behind the car in track mode. (AMG One, McLaren W1, etc.)
