Default High Wing Disassembly Question

How does the C8 high wing come apart from the stanchions? Is it at all possible to remove the wing portion and leave the stanchions on the car if you wanted to get the wing repainted a different color? Thanks.

You can but you have to remove the wing to access the hardware. It would be easier to over a custom painted wing from someone like American Hydrocarbon and swap it out and then sell your carbon flash wing.

Thanks that's what I was wondering. I dun goofed and ordered a red one and then changed my mind and wanted a carbon flash one. I suppose I could always wrap it but I can't imagine that would look that great.

How about swap the end plates for carbon flash to match the stanchions. Would look pretty cool in my opinion.
