It works.
18 months after taking delivery of this car I can finally use my rearview mirror!!
Picture taken at eye level. Brake lights on to highlight what's "viewable". Basically these uprights elevate the wing to the very top of the view out the back. Seeing is believing.
Fitment is 95%+ IMO. There may be an ever so slight wobble if you force the wing sideways just to stress-test the whole rig, but overall this is an A- / A effort for a made-from-scratch aftermarket part. In a couple weeks I'll test this on speed-unlimited highways and track. Not expecting material downforce benefits (like I can feel it...) but having the view out back is already a success in my book.
Thanks Baron!

Great, mine are getting painted now.
I will give the wing a shove with the oem on and then try with the taller ones on.
I just want to see cops coming, I sit pretty high with the cushion in, so I won't see much of the wing any longer

I love them.
I cant have an RS without them anymore, so freakin annoying to get tickets (This one was $90.00 for the Ticket Clinic and $300 in "court fees" as this was not my first ticket..)or can't see what the idot kids in Mustangs and Civics are up to...
The finish is absolutely perfect, the size, design, etc. it just looks like they belong on the car. I look forward to do some testing at Sebring with the wing anle to see if I can tell if there is more down force and perhaps that allows me to go stiffer on the roll bars...
