Wing fitting

Post by acemate »

Hi Members

After stuffing around for 12 months trying to get a look I want for my FTO I decided to copy the look this guy has for his FTO,,, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3204559/1 ... ubishi-fto
to me it kind of has a look of an older porche 911 with a wide rear end look.
mines same color but a GPX,got the SSR wheels,finally managed to track down a rear wing like this guys
thought ok ill just get it painted and get my centre support boot holes filled,to my shock once the wing arrived I noticed it dont have mounting screws just 2 slots on each end.mmm how do i get this put on.
has any one had an after market wing fitted similar to this,your feed back would be most helpfull.
once the cars done ill post some pics,,after i work out how to do it,looks complecated posting pics on here ive always thought.

I meant a pic of the grooves/slits. To stick it on, I guess you could Sikaflex it. But then it wont really be very easy to get off so you have to be 100% sure, otherwise you're up for a new boot.

Just bore a thread into the spoiler bottom, then drill a hole in your boot then put a bolt through it??

Yep good looking wing :D .
Very strong double sided tape and some self tapping screws :D .
But you are better off getting it bolted on as said above.

that guys car on car domain is from columbia,when i saw his car backed to the wall on an angle the wheels sitting out and that wing sort of gave it a wide bodied rear end look to me looked like a mini porche,only thing on his car i dont like is the space over the front wheels made worse by using lower profile tyres plus i would have painted the support behind the grille black,but overall i like the look and it doesnt detract from the stock fto shape,will try to get pics up once im done.
