Well, since the paintshop was able to mess up some parts of my car, and apart from that didn't make any progress in 7 weeks, I decided to get it back and find another paintshop.
However, I saw that they managed to f**k up the molded in mountings of the Mariah Small Aero wing. The wing "stands" were nicely moulded in, but now are cracked. They must have pulled the car at the wing, cause after it being there for 4 years without any cracks, it'd be rather weird to see cracks after 7 weeks standing... Since some work has to be done anyway, I'm thinking of changing the wing. I don't really like it, but haven't found anything suitable yet. Mariah wings are not my taste... I'm thinking of something FD (late 99-02 model) style. Anything available? Any other thoughts?

Jack from Killer Bee in Belgium has some Mariah kits for sale. maybe check with him?

Andreas.

Thanks for the help, but Mariah doesn't have any wings that really like... And as far as I know Jack ain't cheap either ;-)

Its coming, if I dont have it by the 6th, i want my money back, thats crazy to wait that long, they told me 3 - 4 weeks, not 11 weeks, besides I can do a Ford 9 and 1/2 left over for some wheels.. Id be out far less.

I'd be pissed too mike. thats not like designenergy to lag
like that,maybe they had to fab yours and DF's,,.
On the question about the rear spoiler (wing) i've found that the 2ed gen ( turbo II, gxl, gtu, spoilers look good and will fit a 1st gen, with minor trimming. The antenna hole has to be filled, then drilled on the other side. i've got one in fibreglass that i'm still working on (reglassing)

rotary emotions

have a roof antenna, so just filling, no drilling :-)
however, with the widebody, I'd like something slightly more agressive...

MarkPerez

I've never seen any pictures of a wide body 1st gen
(mariah) with any other kind of spoiler then the small
aero job.. that purple FB widebody has the supra style
'wing'. how about those wings on the mariah mode five
or six,,those are pretty crazy.

rotary emotions

Well, the supra thing is way over it, in my opinion...
I'd like something like a FD thing...
Kinda like this one:

cross between the 99jspec fd and a skyline (if i remember correctly)... definatly looks nice.

MarkPerez

Thats pretty crazy,,It does look kinda OK,,Huh ?

Bern

I kinda like that FD style wing also.. here is another idea for you.. I wanted something a little different from all the wings out there so, we came up with this:







Custom made.. so probably not to cost effective.

Bern

i am definatly going to the auto show.. just trying to make a final decision as to when (either the 6th or the 11th). .. unfortunitally, however, i will not be going in my seven. so you will have to wait on seeing that until i take it down to mariah to have my little talk with them.
