I heard of people using special expanding foam to reinforce the rigidity of body panels. If the IX wing is hollow, I wonder if filling it with foam would help prevent the failures.

now i know theres all this about does and evo wing really function. and i have a spare wing in my garage off my previous 8, and im 190lbs and can stand and pretty much jump on the wing without it breaking,.........

so while i was in orlando for the new years i decided to swing by CFT and toss the beat on the dyno along with kickn it with omar. got to talkn to them and one of them, cant recall his name, said he's broken 2 evo 9 wings from going fast. this might sound kinda ehhh, but it is what it is.

has anyone else with an evo 9 experienced this?!?!?!?

crazy.
