I will post the info once its out.

In order to fit the wing on the rere roll cage, you need a custom soon to be made adaptor. Minsu Cho on Facebook is currently in the process of making it.

But you will also needthese parts:

OT250

OT251 - Not available until mid January 2018...

It fits just fine on a vintage optima, except for the wing mount. Another solution is needed to fit the wing.
