Default Turbo Wing Installed

After many weeks of waiting for parts and numerous emails and help from StormRune I was able to get my turbo wing installed after getting back from paint. I haven't decided what badge I will put on the back yet or leave unbadged but will have to wait because I am taking it back off and sending it back to get re-painted. It matches good from about 5 feet but up closer you can notice it has too much flake in the paint. The shop put a camera on the paint to match and came up with one of the 3 factory paint codes for Meteor gray, come to find out after the fact and spraying a few panels we found out there is also 3 different choices for a waterbased paint which they used on 2009 and up. Good news is that I am so familiar with the removal and install now I can do it in about 15 minutes off and on.

I don't like it, but I will probably be in the minority. Most will like it.

Very nice work. That is something I would love to do with my 07. Love the way the wing operates. I'm jealous. Maybe someday I can get mine done.

I like it. Common mod for the 80's Carreras was to put on a wing.

Excellent! I'm very glad to see your success. I'm sure they'll get the paint in good order for you. The car is looking great. Very nice wheels too!

Thank you for the nice reference in your post. I also see Petza's post above and would like to recognize that he helped answer my questions when I did mine since he had done his before me. Thanks again Petza! Let's keep passing the knowledge on.
