Description
Upgrade the appearance and aerodynamic performance of your Verus Engineering UCW Rear Wing with the Vented UCW Carbon Fiber Endplates. Designed as a direct replacement for the standard UCW endplates, these vented carbon fiber endplates provide an aggressive, functional appearance while improving the aerodynamic efficiency of the UCW rear wing element.
The Vented UCW Carbon Fiber Endplates bolt directly onto the UCW wing using the same mounting method and hardware as the standard endplates, requiring no changes to the existing hardware or wing assembly.
Each endplate is manufactured from 2x2 twill pre-preg carbon fiber using precision-machined aluminum molds to provide a consistent fit and finish. The carbon fiber construction is finished with an automotive high-gloss clear coat for enhanced appearance and UV resistance.
Verus Engineering developed the endplates using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to improve the aerodynamic performance of the UCW Rear Wing Element. By strategically venting the upper portion of the wing and shaping the lower section of the endplate, Verus Engineering was able to reduce drag and increase downforce.
At 10 degrees angle of attack (AOA), testing showed a 1.2% improvement in Lift-to-Drag (L/D) efficiency, consisting of a 0.3% increase in downforce and a 0.9% reduction in drag. Testing was performed using a generic swan-neck upright and mounting configuration with the wing operating in free-stream airflow.

Aerodynamic Development
The Verus Engineering Vented UCW Carbon Fiber Endplates were developed to further improve the performance of the UCW Rear Wing Element while adding a distinctive visual upgrade.
The endplates were specifically shaped to manage the airflow around the rear wing. Strategic venting on the upper portion of the endplate helps release high-pressure air from the top side of the wing, while the lower portion is shaped to help reduce the vortices generated around the wing and endplate.
Through CFD development and testing, Verus Engineering achieved a 1.2% improvement in Lift-to-Drag efficiency at 10 degrees AOA. This improvement consisted of a 0.3% increase in downforce and a 0.9% reduction in drag.
Testing was conducted with the wing operating in free-stream airflow using a generic swan-neck upright and mounting configuration.
The result is an endplate design that improves both the visual presence and aerodynamic efficiency of the UCW Rear Wing Element.
Installation
The Vented UCW Carbon Fiber Endplates are designed as a straightforward replacement for the standard UCW endplates. They bolt directly onto the UCW wing element using the same mounting method and hardware, allowing the upgrade to be completed without modifying the existing wing assembly.
