No kidding, wish they would have put some of that effort into fixing oil cooling or brake fade..

Ok looks like just the push pin locations need to be filled. They are talking about filling it with some urathane to prevent leaks..

Also noted that the wing doesnt perfectly conform to the slope of the hatch. I think they just need to bolt the thing on instead of just holding it up there.

I put covers with silicone on my holes. The wing conformed better when i tightened all 4 bolts down.

Hey CC, how did you access the outer edge bolt holes in the hatch?

We are thinking about drilling a small access holes to get at the outer attach points.

Quick teaser pic, wont be finished till monday.

Hmmmm... i would love to have it attach at those outer points. But maybe its not worth it.

If i did drill 2 access holes in my hatch it would be unnoticeable once the trim went back one. And much more secure i would think.

I have till Monday to decide.

Getting the rear splash guards installed as well, they came in today. Not sold on the fronts guards with out the front lip spoiler, then it just fits.
