PS: i got my wing used for $85

Edit: only one pic works.
If you're interested in a whale tail, I have the CP Racing one for sale on eBay. Here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2578919&rd=1,1

This is a mold on wing. I can however mold a base on it so so that it can be bolted on. You will need to add another $100 to the final sale price for the extra work involved. This is the same wing that Dan S Young has on his widebody, Fwiw, the Mariah wing that I have on the widebody was priced at $436 and is out of production. The whale tail makes a great spot to set groceries when going to the store, lol.

I have pics of the wing taped on the shell in this thread:

what I wonder about is why so omany kits put covers over covers... why not make a rear bumper cover, for example, that replaces the stock one instead of having to be glued/riveted to the stock cover below the black trim.

And with many of us removing the rubber trim, one would think that bumper covers without the molded trim strips would be available.

Well to be honest with you I like that concept better... most bumper body kits require the removement of the reinforcer.. which means you only have a fiberglass bumper.. you hit anything n say good bye to the whole car....

one thing has nothing to do with the other. The stock covers are just clipped over the reinforcers. one could make urethane, ABS, or FRP replacement covers that use the stock reinforcers.

yes, but many of the aftermarket bumper body kits require the reiforcer to be removed...

In any cade, Im glad this one does not require the reiforcer to be removed.. oterwise i would not have gotten it...

uploading a pic is super easy here... just attach the image and that is pretty much it...
There are threads that guide u step by step...
I see that you are in Miami... we can meet and I can show you or let me know and i post them for you... either way, i think is best for you to learn how to do it so that you can post pics whenever you want

There was a fiberglass one available for the rear that replaced the plastic. I bought a used on a few years ago on eBay. I have no idea who made it or it it's still in production. By the time I got done trying to 'mod' it for the widebody, it was in pieces, then the trash can, lol.

openshot, that is quite the undertaking for an inexperienced young man, I'm impressed. It's also one of the best ways to learn. Good luck with the project. Btw, you should buy my whaletail. It will look much better than the park bench style you posted earlier. I may cut you a deal on it for all of your hard work.

Would be much nicer than the "Import" wing lol. Same thing you see on civics and just laugh. Personally I wouldn't call a spoiler a performance modification (unless high speed racing of course), it's usually just cosmetic. So you might as well get something that matches the styling and era of the car...

Here's a link to the for sale thread. It's the same wing that Dan S Young has on his widebody if you want to see a finished install.

I like the whale tail.. that was my option.. it is not the same as trochoid's but it is a whale tail...
some people think the whale tail requires a wide body kit in order to look good.. I disagree... It is all a matter of taste.. i researched and requested pictures to compare and I like the regular body kit with the whale tail... like i said.. is a matter of taste !
