Default Custom fleece track wing cover

Set out on a mission to create a cover for the GTC-300 recently. Templated out the shape with an old bed sheet then browsed Anna's Linens and located a thick fleece material and some snazzy oversized buttons to keep it tight. All sewing was done by hand and the finished result is a vast improvement over the predecessor, which was a tattered bed sheet held together with binder clips. Still trying to find the perfect fold and cut for the end plates, but that will be sorted out soon.

Car is stored all week in a car port, but needed some additional protection from prying eyes and the elements.

Phase two will involve modifying the OEM car cover to accommodate the wing stands.

Yes, but it can't cover the aura of craziness that spoiler represents

Thanks guys.

Since the wing, I've kind of become like super man.
During the week, I look normal, and stealthily.
Then, during the weekend I parade around with all exposed--saving the human race from destruction with no shame.

Seriously though, the attention this wing attracts is worthy of a youtube video.
I did not expect the celebrity treatment, but it's wild.
Rubber-neckers, haters, appreciators, all are drawn in.

Omg. Such s good idea. Now I'm inspired. It's expensive to get it spun though. Would add to the Baller effect.

obviously you just need to put some gopros on it or near it... maybe outside the wing stands... to capture the attention and make said video.

I'm not sure some cover hides the ironing board suspended in the air by two thin legs
