the wings are nothing alike....the gt4 is huge in comparison.

Oh ok, my mistake. I've only seen either car a handful of times and didn't think to take pictures to compare.

Whatever it is, I'm sure IMSA has had their hands all over it..

all that being said, I'm sure it's available in a "knock off" from the supplier, try Multimatic

I've looked all over for that FIA spec and cannot find it. If it was me, I'd just drop a dime to multimatic and see if they would send you the spec for it.

Looks way bigger to me than the cftp 500...... god i hate how much i love the gt4 shelby
That's what wide-angle short focal length lenses/cameras do, exaggerate perceived space and the sizes of objects (opposite of how super telephoto lenses compress space). If you just looked at the 1st and 4th picture you'd think they were entirely different sizes, even though the same wing is pictured.
Can you send me a gt4 one so i can verify 
Just surfing the web and noticed this. The GT4 upright base is located in the exact same location as the CFTP upright base. The wing itself....CFTP originates in China and the GT4 originates in Markham, Ontario. I run the Multimatic piece on my '20 GT500. A bit more "industrial" than the OEM street unit but somewhat more robust as well.
Bringing this one back up. Anderson is making a 'high profile' version of their cftp replica wing. They are available now. Sits 4" higher than the cftp wing @ 9-5/8"

Got it on my car and will test it at this weekends time trial.

How adjustable is it
Not very, only 2 positions, about 0-5 degrees AOA. This is at 0. The car felt more planted, but I could not improve on my PBs yesterday. Still stuck within the same second on that track config, even after wholesale spring,bar, wheel, tire changes. Nut behind the wheel needs adjustment!

Mmm, that may be a dealbreaker for a majority of us. we’ll see. What suspension are you running

This thread was recently brought back to my attention and I wanted to speak to the above comment. The airfoil sections of the GT4 wing and the OEM production CFTP wing are not the exact same. They are similar but not the exact same pieces.
I mentioned it up above but again, the GT4 wing is produced in Markham, Ontario by Multimatic. IIRC, they started producing them around 2017, well before the GT500 was a production vehicle. Multimatic bid on the contract to produce the CFTP wing for use on the upcoming 2020 GT500 but was unsuccessful. That contract was awarded to Action Composites. While they are considered a global company, for all intents and purposes, the CFTP wing is produced in China. Here's a sticker that you'll sometimes see hidden on a CFTP wing.
Action Composites is a fairly large company that is indeed capable of some high quality hardware.

www.action-composites.comThe wings are imported to Michigan through Polytec. The OEM CFTP uprights are offshore composites as well. Multimatic's are a two piece aluminum assembly welded together to make them a single piece.
As to the airfoil, the Multimatic units are foam filled with machined aluminum inserts on each end. The inserts allow the end plates to be bolted together. This is not how the CFTP end plates attach.
So two different companies from two different countries produce a "similar" airfoil.
If it matters, the Anderson Composites airfoil is hollow. Here's a photo of one I cut in half. The ends are cut square and the plates are bonded directly to the perimeter of the airfoil.
Anderson's wing and uprights are produced offshore as well.
For anyone interested, there is a company in southern California that is nearing release of a high quality carbon fiber upright that matches the height of the GT4 upright and is direct fit and match for the decklid and the CFTP wing. They have been in development for the better part of this year. They will be manufactured in California. I'll try to get more photos when I can but for now here's a photo of the owner's own GT500 with raised uprights.
