EMPI X Foose Design Rear Wing Type 1. Sold each
EMPI is proud to collaborate with legendary automotive designer Chip Foose on this all-new EMPI Exclusive rear wing.
Precision-engineered and manufactured.
This modern reimagining of the No Longer Available, “Herrod Helper” wing adds real aero functionality and style to any Type 1.
Features:
- The Foose wing and support elements are laser-cut and precision bent from 14-gauge T-6061 aluminum to be lightweight and rigid.
- Chip designed the wing to provide high speed stability and enhanced rear end downforce at speed.
- The Gurney flap at the back of the wing adds additional downforce while the TIG welded end plates help direct the air over the wing element.
- These features help make the wing more efficient than older designs.
- The TIG welded aluminum wing stand-offs have been purposefully designed to mount the leading wing edge away from the body to allow cooling air to reach the engine unimpeded.
- The wing mounts low enough to not interfere with rear visibility, and the wing is mounted high enough to open the rear decklid without interference.
- The mild steel mounting brackets are 16-gauge and powder coated black.
- These brackets sandwich the engine cooling vents for a secure bolt on installation to any Type 1 bug.
No cutting or drilling is required for the installation of the EMPI X Foose Design wing, so installation is reversible at any time.
Stainless steel mounting hardware is used throughout the kit for a clean installation.
Includes a pre-applied FOOSE sticker on the side panel of the wing (removable).
Measures:
- Wing surface measures 37.7” wide x 8” deep
- Weighs 4.2 pounds
Fits:
- 1950-1977 Beetle sedan
