that looks almost like the one in my sig. but mine is not as massive and it has a leg in the middle of the wing attached to the body.

Action///That wing Is Identical to mine except mine was moulded on to my body. You should take the time have It moulded In which will make the contour lines much much better.

How long have you had that molded in to your body? Are you experiencing any cracking? Every body shop I talk to tells me mine will develop cracks eventually.

Sorry I didn't respond ACTION, I've been away. Yes my wing is hollow on the inside, and it has held up quite well on its own. I think it has been on there maybe 5 years?

For those other guys, I don't know when I'm even getting a replacement wing, but when I do, I'll post on here about selling it.

And when I get the ERC wing, I am going to have it molded into the body, however I wouldn't do that with the Kamanari wing as the lines don't line up with the body well enough to not need to use excessive amounts of filler, which will cause cracking. I suggest if you want to mold it, find another wing. Just my opinion though.

I have had my wing moulded onto my body for 6 or 7 yrs now. I have no cracking of any sort to Indicate poor quality of this wing.

At first I was very sceptical of It but my cousin said to we "the wing gives the car an attitude". Now I can only agree with him. It's my trademark.

Pics

Hey Tony post some more pics of your car higher res this time!!!, i can host them for a bit if wanted..

Pm me.

AreExSeven THink its a good idea to fill it in with cocking to keep it from cracking or breaking? does yours have any cracks?

How does yours mount too? mine mounts the way you can see..... 2 bolts at the back and the little things under the window at the front. im afraid this will not be enough.. if i get up to speed, wind will get under the sides of the wings.. and possibly rip it off.

Does water get in underneath the wing and sit there?

anyways heres some underside pics..

Do you have any pics?? What type of media did you use to mold it to the body??

Action that **** is too big man, I think the only way for that to look good would be to get the body kit. It just seems like you would need a lot of flares to go with that wing its really huge, I wouldent put it on my TII...But hey if you like it then...

I disagree. The tail conforms to the rest of the aesthetics of the body. Especially, If you have a TII Hood which creates a "raised" effect on both the Front and Rear of the car.

I didn't think I'd like the wing either, but I saw Silverrotor's at a fall meet, and the fit was really good, looked like OEM finish. I don't think that parts looking car does the piece justice.

Hmm. I think it wouldn't hurt to fill it, but I have had no problems in the years w/o it.

Mine mounts the same as yours, but I have had no problem with it moving. In fact, I think it is on there pretty good. Now the bumper is another story

I've never seen water underneath the wind, but it does get trapped in the groove that the hatch closes into, but I think it does that whether you have a wing or not.

Thanks ACTION. The pics were used for a previous thread that highlighted my chroming of my Mazda RX-7 Badges not the Tail.

I'll see If I have better pics emphasizing the tail.
