I am installing a wing on the back of my fc but am afriad of the week getting stolen when the car is parked. I am going to be using alan key screws but that still doesnt prevent anyone comeing with an alan key and stealing my wing in a couple mintues.

Are there any special screws that need like a key? or what do it do?

 

...

Exactly what kind of wing is this? The only spoilers i've ever seen that could be easily removed are piece of junk rice wings. Well... there is that one RE-Amemiya wing that looks pretty easy to remove too, but I'm douting you have an authentica RE-Amemiya spoiler...

 

what makes you think someone is gonna steal it? is it like a mega huge gold plated diamond encrusted wing? as for an actual suggestion... car alarm? trunk monkey?

 

Trunk monkey? Is that where a money comes out of the hatch and starts beating the wing thief?

 

yea, you never heard of a trunk monkey?

 

Security Torx, it's the star shaped hole with a peg in the middle. they use them on roadside signs, and they are removable, problem will be getting metric ones. If you go APR I think those are SAE. Carl

 

thanks carl

and yes it is a diamond plated wing NOPR....wut u dont have one?

 

Do they have to be screws? You could always use smooth, rounded top bolts and put a nut and locking washer on the underside.

 

bingo....... you can get these at any harware store..... and they are practically the same price as regular screws....... and voila, no worrying about anyone stealing your cool gold plated wing!!!

 

 

oh...sorry, its diamond plated... my bad....

 

idea is great however i also have screws at the top of the wing that both sides are exposed from the outside

 

Get them welded.

 

hhmhmmmmm.... so there are actually people in your area that will steal half of a wing????? oh yeah.... duh, the diamond thing... thats right.... sorry, forgot!! well, your best bet is to use alan heads up top, thats as far as i can help!!

 

the welding idea is best, but i dunno why i am helping someone rice out a fc...

 

the most important question is: what kind of wing is it? and where are the pics?

 

Either way if its homosexual/bisexual/heterosexual, just as long as its not a dendropheliac... just use flathead bolts and use a nut and washer on the underside so they would have to pull a macguyver to pull it off, like what was said, and make sure that the part that attaches the wing to the brackets/whatnot are as secure as what your actually bolting to the car.

 

i mean hey guys if the owner like his car like that i mean it is his car but w/e neways my suggestion would be to use rivets some nice aluminum cheap at Home Depot or something and i doubt someone will carry a drill with them and a drill bit to remove it...

Finally someone with a good answer. Rivets are easy and cheap and the only way it would get stolen is if they ripped it off.

 

instead of.......ah screw it(no pun intended...)

 

not even if they ripped it off because if you do it correctly it will hold like a **** they will most lieky **** up his trunk before they steal the wing

True. And even if someone did have a drill I think people would notice that.

 

use alligator clips and duct tape + super glue

 

Yes the wing is big...and yes it is made out of carbon fiber....so as you guys all say yes i guess it rice but guess wut i am still puting it on even though you guys think its rice...i personally think big functional wings on widebody track cars are usefull

 

on a track car it's a good idea other wise, rice -0- roni favorite treat!!!, but then again if it a track car it shouldn't be a street car too . . . . no wing that big
