Carbon Rear Wing, Installed LOTS O PICS

So I got a carbon rear wing from Gary. I ripped the old one off and used epoxy to glue the new one on. We did all the steps in between that go along with removing and adding trim or molding on cars. Enjoy the pics. The black carbon wing ON MY car just ties everything together. A good friend of mine installed it on his black 55 and it looks very euro, I think we scored. Enjoy the pics!

Love the lip. Im not a big fan of that satellite antenna though... did you get the car used like that or did you install? I ask cause there is a small Kenwood black one that can be mounted close the end of the roof.

Vaz,

What epoxy did you use to install it with?

I want mine to sit flush like that and I'm guessing you won't get that with tape... as I found out the hard way....

Chinese replica garbage looks absolutely terrible with the gaps

Agreed. I used 5 minute epoxy from Auto Zone. Its in the section with all the other 3M crap and the engine/gasket weld stuff. I just squeezed the entire tube down the length of the wing and started mixing the epoxy directly on the wing itself. Once I felt the glue getting "stickier" I put it on the trunk and pressed down with both hands and chest for about 3-4 min or until I thought it was good to release. I looked like a fool doing it, people were watching me in a crusfix position leaned up against my trunk pressing with all I got. "WTF is he doing??"
Anyway, just add some tape for a couple of hrs and you're good to go. I f---ed with it today and that thing aint going anywhere. It is CRUCIAL that you press down with force on it right when you put it on. That's how you eliminate the "replica gaps" which this piece really does not have.

Diffuser is "Wald" style. The Wald cost over $1000 and I got this one for like $400. I can call my guy and see if he got any more. When I first posted pictures lots of members wanted them as well. He only had 4 left and sold all of them...

My question is, how did you remove all the scratches from the dogs nails

Nice pics, but I will bet there are marks.

I was gonna say, my dog goes NOWHERE near my car. But he can do whatever the hell he likes to my jeep, aside from hump it.

When I got the piece I was so damn impressed with it I just slapped it on to "eyeball it". When I got to HQ I did the entire removal and installation.
