after how long.. my wing is having a problem... when it gets a little warm out, I guess the ABS plastic deforms... it bows up and the tape in the middle of the upper half doesnt hold it down... but when it gets cool out it looks perfectly fine but the tape still doesn't hold. When I'm on the free way i guess the cool air flowing over it cools it enough to where it sits back down on the base of the wing again...

I thought this wing wasn't supposed to deform...

ill take pics when i have time

its not loose... all the bolts holding down the base it fine.. none of the bolts that hold the upper wing down are loose but the middle bow'd up enough to where it doesnt make contact with the base or the tape... and then when it cools down it sits back down... I don't know what going to happen when I move down to SoCal in 2 weeks.

Carbon version! Made in 3K cross weave carbon fiber. I'll test and see if this fits on stock Nismo wing. I'm sure lots people going to ask me this.

Just FYI my middle portion tape does not hold the 2 pieces together either. I have added more double sided 3m and yet it STILL doesn't sit flush(bows up). I try not to look at it but deep down its bothering me.

Also I would like to add this has been since day 1. And that was not a hot day!

Wing is completely secure obviously just the top and bottom pieces will not connect flush at the middle support beam (2 piece wing). I have thought about a stronger adhesive but i don't want to ruin the wing.

My holes are also not painted over.

What i think is when bodyshop paint the wing, they filled the little hole on the top tip of the wing. Those holes (L/R) allows air flow in and out inside the wing. Cuz when it is closed up air inside will expand, cause the wing to blow up. Original Nismo wing is also designed this way. This is why we have those holes also. Please check make sure. Thanks.

It looks to be the exact same as the Highwing.

Looks like just the top from the pics. The beige color is the unpainted part that needs paint, just like the regular one.
