Arrow Fixing and painting the trunk and 99 spec wing installation - RX-7 FD R2

Hey guys!
The trunk is finally painted and the 99 spec wing installed. The FD looks so much better now! Another successful DIY. The car is coming along nice!
I utilized a neoprene sheet as a gasket but to be honest, I don't know how I feel. 1/8" still looks thick but can't complaint too much.

Nice work, your car is looking good. I'll be doing the same soon. What paint did you use to paint the hatch? Do you think a thinner neoprene would have worked better? What wing insert is that?

Edit: Nevermind I saw the paint and wing insert in your other video!

Thank you!
I'm not sure if a thinner neoprene is available but yeah. It would definitely look better.
