Did you order the ZTX or the ZTXL? I am waiting on the ZTX, and no email for me yet either.

Mine is all finished and back together as well, just waiting on the wing and brackets. Should take all of 10 minutes to mount the wing up when it arrives.

If I remember correctly, I think Weapon-X told me the bolts that attach the wing to the bracket come with the brackets and the brackets are shipped with the wing.

Did Weapon-X send you a shipping notification? I know you ordered the ZTX wing. When did you place your order?

Well just as I hoped wouldn't have happened. I received the wing a day early and just unpacked it. Have the wing and the brackets but am missing the attachment hardware. Another delay.

Oh no!!

Guess the packing guy wasnt paying attention....

I think those are some specialized nuts and bolts. Might not be able to find those at Ace Hardware.

Bummer!!!

Yip. Wondering if mine was an isolated incident or a standard oops for all kits shipped so far. Was hoping "MDK" could still answer my question I posed to him a couple days ago as to whether his kit came with the hardware...

ZTXL Wing in 'da house!!

Took a trip to Weapon-X today. They were gracious enough to bolt on my new ZTXL wing on the car for me. Here are some quick, very crappy cell phone pics after I got home. Please excuse the car, I unfortunately got caught in the rain on the way home (stupid weatherman!!)

Full review will be forthcoming, but basically the wing is unbelievably AWESOME and BAD-***!! Also, the crew that I met at Weapon-X were amazing and very accommodating. It was well worth the trip.

I dont plan on cutting mine open to find out, but based purely on the sound it makes when you knock it with your knuckle, how stiff (rigid) it is, and what it weighs (SUPER light), I am going to go out on a limb and say it is NOT carbon fiber wrapped plastic.

I did, more by luck than anything. Weapon-X hooked me up. I am glad I did. The ZTXL looks perfectly sized on the car IMO.

One tip when you bolt your wing on, leave the 8 bolts that attach the stantions to the pedestals loose. Attach wing to stantions. Then tighten the 8 pedestal bolts down.

Great info. Do you know if you use the same T-30 star torx bit for the security bolts that attach the wing to the stations? If it's not, any idea what size bit?

Same T30 security bit as the pedestal bolts.
