Still waiting on parts. Mainly motor mounts and wiring components. Once those two things arrive I can really start cookin. In the mean time I've been messin with other things.
I got my origin universal wing in the mail yesterday. I know everyone thinks that wing is huge, but you have no idea. It's ****** incredibly huge. It's a universal wing and the stays it comes with are for a rear deck, which all the fc guys know, wont fit on my car. So I made a template and did a little fiberglassing to one of them. I still need to finish sand and paint it, but I think it will work well.

that is brilliant. lol you're going to be bitter when it does disintegrate into a million pieces because the glass will not hold to the metal as much as you're hoping it will. you would be further off making a template to wrap around (like you did with the fiberglass) but cut out whatever metal the stands are. if theyre aluminum obviously you'll need to cut aluminum templates.
then have someone tig it up and if youre super **** you can flap disc the welds down so its smooth looking.
how much was it? i will buy it off you if you want to sell it.

The wing stays from origin are made of fiberglass. I just added a little extra on the bottom. I have thought about going the full aluminum route, but I was hoping this would work. I think even if my little piece on bottom broke it still wouldn't fly off and brake just sag till I unbolt it.

you would think they would atleast make them out of aluminum like Dmax...

You bastards. I took your advice and I've begun making aluminum stays. Same template, just different material.
This is only the rough cut. I need to grind, sand, and paint them also,

Hey do you know what kind of spoiler was on there before your custom one? I have those same 4 holes in the back of my car from a spoiler and I am wondering what kind/brand it is.

I'm not sure if those holes are used for more than one, but the one mine had was the mazda factory lip spoiler. Like the car in the picture.
Here is mine when it was on.

Looks good. This build is causing me to consider a piston swap in the vert ...
I actually want to find one of those thumbnail spoilers and attach it to my vert, I think it'd be different in a sublet, positive way.
