I'm not going to make a big thing about this, but when you say, "the wing is the only saving grace on the car," you are purposefully being insulting. Look up the phrase my friend. It basically construes the car is unattractive minus the spoiler. Here you go, I did the legwork for you. Verbatim from the dictionary: "Saving Grace"
"A redeeming quality, especially one that compensates for one's shortcomings."
"A quality that makes up for other generally negative characteristics; redeeming feature."
Example: Think if someone mentioned your significant other and said, "man, her butt is huge." Then I came in to defend her and said, "yeah, but her butt is her only saving grace." That would surely connotate she has no other redeemable aesthetic qualities minus her huge butt. Would you thank me for compliments towards her?
Another quick example would be yourself perhaps. One could mention you are a huge tool for trolling posts and sneaking in off the topic insults rather than helping. Perhaps wanker could then come to your rescue and say, "wait, he does have a cool car, that's his only saving grace." Basically meaning you are a tool minus having a cool car (if you didn't pick up on that). And really you didn't design the car, or build it, or have any hand in creating it, so you're basically a tool that picked a cool car.
If you're going to be a hater, may as well stand by it. If not admit fault, and apologize, or lastly find another post to troll. I believe wanker was being sarcastic and knocking the wing. How about you post up some photos of your car so we can all chime in our opinions. I doubt every car you've ever bought rolled off the lot looking sweet.
Thanks everyone else for the help. It's not that I'm terrified of taking the wheels off, I just bought the car and don't feel like taking it apart right away with a lesser jack and no stands. I was just curious if anyone had ideas. I owned a Z prior for 4 years and did plenty of work on it. I'll be getting some rear tires soon, so I'll just wait until then. I'm already aware the covers are frowned upon, that's why I started this post.
