PERFECT FIT!

As some of you may know, I have been waiting for this spoiler for over a year now, and I have been in contact with WingTech ever since to get this going, but because the coupe's trunk is different than the convertible's, it took longer than expected.

The install was very simple, measure 100 times, drill once. Finding the center was relatively easy by using my satellite antennae and my 3rd brake light. It's getting both ends perfectly even that took a bit more time. I was just measuring a million times until I was satisfied that it is even enough, although you could just eyeball it and no one would be able tell the difference.

I'm not sure if a template will be released with the final product, but you really don't need one. Now that I have installed this solo, I would probably prefer to do it again without a template. I used a Step Drill Bit until I could fit the screw through, and used the same bit to open up holes big enough for my socket to fit through from inside the trunk. Applied silicone around the holes outside before placing wing on.

This spoiler really looks like it BELONGS on the convertible.
I will keep this thread updated and let you know when it's released

FINALLY!!!!! Good for you Bud

Looks just like mine.. Great looking fit.

Just for a comparison.;)

This is the closest angle I have of mine to compare to yours...

Okay Wesley, I like the look. and it it doesn't overpower the car with the top down. But damn that looks like a tedious process!.. Props to you for going for it anyway.

This is actually easier than a lot of mods I've done, because it's so damn simple. The majority of my time was spent measuring over and over and over again, because I was scared :lol: but once I started drilling, I was done in minutes.

Happy you finally got your wing! Unfortunately, my car came with the lame factory spoiler and this would have left holes so I went with the Foose wing but I have always been a fan of pedestal spoilers. Thanks for helping to get this to market!

Good job!!! Looks great.

Wow... I just realized how much better my convertible looks now with the top up while walking up to it from behind today.

That is a great deal

I'll never have it :( but I'm hoping that the new 2018 one will fit the verts and it looks like it will cover the OEM holes

I actually like that wing... maybe the first or second one I've seen that I did not feel repulsed by... lol

Very nice. Although the actual GT/CS spoiler has separate spacers that's made from a unpainted plastic between the spoiler and the trunk lid. But your is pretty close.

Are we sure this wing won't cover the oem holes?
