Wing Installed

I`m very happy with Wing .. If your not a fan of the wail tail type then you will hate this one..LOL But I like the way it looks.. Have not seen much differant in driving, but also have not had over 75mph yet.. I went with the shop that the owner had the body and paint person talk with me about "pin-holes" they have to fix once they bake the wing .. I will use them in june to paint whole car after I have new motor and other stuff installed ..

Trying to add more photos but they are to large

122.50 on ebay. like pic, then primed painted installed $358.00 had a couple better offers to do whole job, but felt best with the place i went with.

Still not sure about body kit, Leaning towards Manntis Hood, (when i get all cash up) and The large fenders molded on. (forgot who makes them) I have a front airdam that i think I will not be adding.. I like the line the car has now from wing to front .. If i dont use will sell the new airdam for a great price.

Trying to fingure out best New Shocks to pick up.

Hey ftlaud, I like the whale tail, in fact I bidded on that same one on e-bay, but in your picture it appears to have a gap where it meets the body at the base of the hatch, does it???

rwatson5651 , yes a little gap, If i bring all the way up no place to grab the glass hatch, I live in ft laud so remove the sunroof a bunch, so needed the access.



Elysian; Thanks. and i saw your post about raditors, and order one. $132 shipped to ftlaud.. $50 cheaper then i could find .. thanks for the link ..
