Blackwing Install Question
Got a Blackwing for Christmas yesterday, so this morning I decided to install it. All went well, that bad boy rocks. But I have one question about the 4 install posts that hold it in place (i.e. 2 at the bottom of the box and 2 at the air bridge). On mine, the 2 at the airbridge are slight off (meaning about 1/2 inch too far away from the hole toward the front of the car, and it seems to be sitting higher than before so even if it were lined up it would be high.
Is this normal? Or do I need to readjust it a bit? The bottom two posts on the box itself are in normally.
It is secure, doesn't really move around at all.
Just happy to finally have it in. Really can tell a difference. Gonna like this mod.

Re: Blackwing Install Question (Thunder7)
Loosen up all the clamps and push the air bridge over the posts. The hose clamps are just slightly misaligned.
It will sit down properly and then you can tighten all the clamps.

Re: Blackwing Install Question (Closer_2001)
I went back out there and loosened up stuff, wrestled with it some more and got it to sit down on those posts. Tell ya, it was harder dealing with getting off/on those posts than the entire rest of the install.
Diggin' the Blackwing!!
Thanks for the info.
