Alright, I have the wing in my possesion now, but it was too late to take a pic of it. Tommorow I'm going to make a template of the wing from the old trunk so I can drill the holes and have it mounted tommorow sometime. I'll have plenty of pics, rest assured.

Looks good from what I can tell! Are you using a camera phone or something?

Alright, I got it mounted today. I made a template out of cardboard from the stock trunk, then laid it out on my new trunk. It was slightly off, and when I say slightly I mean the bolt holes were perfect except one (for some unknown reason) and had to elongate it maybe 1mm for the right angle for the bolt to go into the wing. However, for some reason, there is a 1/4" gap from the left side of the wing and the trunk, and perfectly lined up on the other. I didn't notice there was a 1/8" gap between the wing and trunk one both sides, as I know now. It's not really visable and I don't plan on fixing it. Attached are phonecam pics because it seems my digicam died.. not the batteries...

I love it! But it looks like it could benefit from a good polish and wax.

Oh, it can. He didn't end up buffing it, so it's straight clear coat. To those inquiring about the yellowing of the wing, IT CAN BE FIXED. I can tell where my friend didn't sand enough on the sides and you can see it's yellowed, so I'm kind of mad, but it still looks 100x better. So, BY SANDING THE WING, YOU CAN REMOVE THE YELLOWING THE SUN CAUSES.

Nice -- just straighten out that license plate please! :P I really like the subdued look of the stripped CF wing.

Heh, it's a tribute to the ricers of Laredo. Believe it or not, it's being held on by molding tape on the top and bottom of the plate. The stock holder flew off at like 75mph... one of the black plug thingies were missing so I put it on.. at an angle thinkign it would be funny, just to find out ricers do it.
