I just received the wing tonight..I opened up the package and the wing looked pretty good. It's going to be a while before I put it on because it's going to need paint (I do my own painting) and it's kinda winter here in Indiana, so I'll wait until April. The wing actually came with gaskets so I guess I won't need the sealer. The wing does have long pedestals, so it might be a little bit of a challenge to install. I guess as a last resort, I can epoxy/fiberglass the thing into the body.

Well that wing has to be the uglyest thing I ever saw.
I thought it would be only about 2 inches off the deck but it's like 4 inches.
Well after the paramedics got my arm out of the license plate hole I got it installed.
Not realy.
The wing does not fit as flush as I would like but had to take out the rear inside tail lights and use a 2 foot extention to install the rear bolts.
You have to drill through 2 panels.
I spent $5.00 for bolts at ace hardware.
The screws they sent are too short to use them on a vet.
The bolt head instead of the screws they sent work better .
Hard to see out the rear window so I guess I have to slow down can't see the cops.
I like it but hope it keeps the rear from bouncing around when I race at the track.The car bounces from side to side just over 100 mph.
I think it is the tires but I have a dana 44 and it sits about 5 inches hight than stock .
Hope your install goes good sure alot of work.
I would rather rewire a car than do that again.
Well good luck
I have to rewire my 94 burnt out the MSD and took out the engine wiring.
Alway's something with a vet.
