Rear Wing..

MuMan · 08-21-2010, 04:33 AM

Done before maybe..but what's your thoughts on mod'ing the rear wing.
If done before, appreciate a thread link.

Can't make up my mind on this..but relatively easily done, with a bit of work.
(anyone have a pic of the trunk lid holes?)

Thought it was obvious in the pic..my bad.
Remove the base from the stock wing & modify the ends (left side of pic).

I can't really see it lol

mr.asian.m2 · 08-21-2010, 07:26 AM

i have no idea....WTH

MuMan · 08-21-2010, 09:56 AM

you can't see any difference between the left side of the wing & the right side? you guys need glasses

beachbum · 08-21-2010, 10:53 AM

I can see what your talking about. no I don't know of any links or anyone that has tried it. I'm sure its possible though.

wagonis · 08-21-2010, 10:58 AM

NOW I see it, had to look like 4 times

Never seen anyone do it, but not a bad idea

It can be done alright, the trick is getting the curve on the ends right..and of course filling the holes under the base piece.
Just wanted your opinions on how it looks..worth the effort.

beachbum · 08-21-2010, 11:48 AM

It would deffinetly be different. I don't know if I would do it to my own personally. but I don't think it would look bad either. I would probably use fiberglass for the ends since its workable and just weld the holes up.

RePete · 08-21-2010, 01:58 PM

I think that would be a great mod. One of the things the '94 wing guys mention that they don't like about the '93 wing is the slope of the trunk is hidden with that piece.

dubmr2 · 08-21-2010, 04:15 PM

looks pretty cool... would be different, depends if you like the 3 piece wing, personally I like the 1 piece ones better... or none like me

MuMan · 08-21-2010, 06:09 PM

Makes the wing look higher huh, and a lot cleaner looking.
I just like the shape of the stock wing, something about it

yes and the profile of the trunk lid, big difference.

Anyhow, I might chase up a used center piece and play around with some FG.

dubmr2 · 08-21-2010, 07:29 PM

Yea I love the curvature on the end of the trunk lid, I didnt even know it was there until I took my wing off.

I have a center piece depending on where u live...

Oteck · 08-22-2010, 12:51 AM

some1 has done that before, he removed the center lip area.

MuMan · 08-22-2010, 04:22 AM

^^ Thanks, I should be able to get one locally, save shipping drama.

^ Any info on that one?.

I'm really starting to dislike that base..the more I look at it

beachbum · 08-22-2010, 09:23 PM

well if you go for it throw some pics up and let us know how it comes out. I've been debating on wether or not to keep or ditch mine completely.

Oteck · 08-22-2010, 10:44 PM

happy?

beachbum · 08-22-2010, 11:38 PM

that deffinetly looks different, not like w/ the base looks horrible. but it sure looks clean without that base piece as well. I kinda like it.

Heytheremr2 · 08-22-2010, 11:42 PM

Ive seen people go wingless and what not. And from what Ive read, in order to install the later revision wings, you needed to change the trunk lid. I figured it was because of the base. but now im
