Does the wing from the ix fit the x or did you have to make custom holes?

Pretty sure you will have to make at least two new holes. Not sure if there are any exposed holes after. I believe we all used the VIII wings.

BTW updated first post with direct shots of the back, sorry for camera photos....

Yea...imma stick with my original thought on this. It really does look good but it just needs to be a bit wider at the base of the wing.

The color, wheels and wing combo makes your car the best looking x i've seen...

Nicely done.

I have always been a fan of the 8/9 wing on the X. Looks better not sure why. I think it makes the rear of the car sharper.

I think it looks more natural on the X then the oem piece

i found this picture online so its not my car. but i think this gives a good side-by-side comparison of the X and the 8/9 wing on a X. From this picture, i really like the 8/9 wing on it.

I think in some of the pictures it looks good. Then when the car is still or from the rear it looks to small.
