How can i tell if my 99 spec wing is the real thing
i got this wing along with the car(not mounted) the previous owner when he got it he was told it was a actual 99 spec wing, I dont know if there are knock offs out there but if it is real what would give it away because the fitment for the stands is not very good and i would expect a factory piece to fit better
thanks guys
thanks guys

yeah im pretty sure this is a fake the side covers are fiberglass and dont even have a spot for a screw you can see a flat spot where you would drill a hole and there are no Part numbers or anything like that on the bottom of the mounts.
that sucks oh well it came with the car its not like a payed extra for it.
thanks guys you've been a big help

this was the first time i actualy looked at it, the side plates had tape holding them on and it has just been sitting there im probably going to sell it since one of the reasons i was going to keep it was because it was actualy functional,
