Thanks I just took the wing off for a change. Don't worry its just sitting above my bed in my room!

I'm debating if when I put it back on if I'll need some 3M tape. It was installed from Mitsu. that way, but wouldn't 4 bolts be enough to suffice?

Have you looked? Are you saying its a hard position to find down there or are you in school planning on graduating with that degree?

I think the only reason they put the 3M tape on is to create a seal around the bolt holes so water doesn't leak into the trunk.

Just buy some double sided 3M tape the dark kind & put it on the bottom of the wing, if there is still tape on the wing you should be fine re using it.

I haven't looked yet. I imagine you would not have a hard time finding a job at all, Charlotte is a growing city full of opportunities. I am in school and will be entering into the engineering department in the fall, I am leaning towards the mechanical field of it right now.

I take mines on and off pretty often and I just use the 4 bolts. Never had a problem yet.

i couldnt feel any difference on the highway when i didnt have mine on just like when taking it up past 100 i still couldnt feel a difference but that was on backroads and straightaways.

does anyone know how cheap it would be to ship an exhaust from charlotte to winston salem? its 39lbs total but dont know the box dimensions but my parents said something about letting me have a catback and its stored at a friends house and plan on getting it sent up here

and one more thing, is there anyone on here who might be interested in joining a bowling league at carolina lanes in the fall?

80mph+ over an over-pass with, then without wing is like night & day

The cars backend lifts a hell of alot, as for high speed cornering. If you enter a 60 degree turn or higher at 75mph+ the car becomes extremely squirrely, compared to winged evo, don't even think about applying brakes, the backend will lift and become unstable.

I was just making a general statement, on my findings, drive safe everyone!

As for bowling I suck at it, my bro has a 300 ring and is insane at it. he plays at Park Lanes alot.

Sorry I missed you. I close at 6:00 and usually try my best to duck and run at that time. If you get a chance to swing by a little earlier though I'll be here.

my car never see's over 75 on the highway and definitely can not get up to speed as fast as i would assume yours does i drove the crap out of my car without the wing but also had a trunk full of bowling *****, bag of tools, and jack with jack stands

i was hoping i could get some evo people together and maybe have a league team which would only need 2 or 3 guys.

another thing i want to ask everyone is who wants to help me install an o2 housing in august? i think having someone who has done it once before can shorten the time i will end up spending because the gf can not help in the slightest bit and will bug me the whole time doing it. there could be free beer involved
