Ok so it is done...btw I will be buying an evo 8 wing to replace it. I do like how the 8 has the cf inserts on the inside. What do you guys think....anyways here are some pics.
The damage




The tools used, oh and I tied the fishing line to the ends of the two wrenches to use as handles so the line wouldn't cut my hands.

And the wing off

And now for the wingless look....temporary

well I am considering it but the problem is the holes the wing left on the trunk. I have white tape covering the holes but its noticable. Now I will have to do some research but the white evo8's and the white evo 9's are different shades correct? Just wondering if it will stand out too much and need to get it repainted.
