the other 2 sit on the outside of the trunk lid frame , if you have the trunk open you'll see 2 half circle cutouts in the metal bracing right where your front wing bolts are you'll wanna drill the holes dead center of all those

I dont think its an aftermarket wing, it kinda looks exactly like the evo 8 but all the evos I see dont have the carbon part unless its not common in my area, but heres the link I bought it from with pics

Tell me what you think? What I will do Turbolancer is look under my trunk today and get an idea of what you just explained to me

A standard might work but it would be close, I used a deep well socket

I used a shallow 12-point 1/2" socket with a 4" extension. But both a long and shallow socket will work.

ok well i bought a long one just in case, now since im doing the 1 by 1 method how long will it take since im not removing the head? I have to be at work in 6 hours so im wondering if I should wait till monday or do it right now if it wont take that long. Senate said it should take 6-8 hours but I figured he probably removed the head etc...

and if I remove the valve cover do I need a new gasket or will i be able to use the same one?

I'm drawing a blank at the moment. The stock head bolts are either 10mm or 12mm 6-pt.

Only one really I guess is pull everything you need off before starting to put anything on. Bumper, crash beam (if your using stock evo fmic) headlights, radiator, exhaust mani, etc.

Triple check everything
Label anything you think you might forget about with bright blue tape, so you see it.
Double check everything for leaks
Don't go WOT once it's all installed even though I'll bet you want to (lol), not till it's tuned up nice. Better the tune, safer it is.
Have a spare car, cause it's going take longer everyone says.
Put the radiator in a SAFE place, cause it's easy to damage
zip tie the vacuum lines I think
video some of it....I sooo want to see things in pieces. don't get grease on the camera though.
