SOB broke my Sport Wing
 
Dam it I missed a bolt some how and while pulling on the wing after a good WD-40 soak of the double sided adhesive tape it snaped right where the missed bolt is located. Chalk one up for lack of expereince. Oh well, costly lesson!

Here is my Z at Hot Import Nights sporting the USW Forged Custom painted Crossover wheels and dropped on BC Racing Coilovers.

The glass is always half-full, not half-empty.

Sorry man but those rims got to go!

At the very least get better offsets, it looks so weak.

I was expecting to see the picture of the broken wing. I didn't quite understand from the explanation alone.

Sorry to hear about the wing.

KaienZ34 02-18-2014 06:24 PM

The title also made me think someone else broke it, Son Of a B1tch broke my wing.

ZeeRedZ 02-18-2014 06:32 PM

Some of you misunderstand, I built the Z the way I wanted to mod it and not the way you think it should be. Your opinion is yours alone and frankly I don't care what you think. My ride, my mods.

Yes there are a total of 4 bolts and all are accesible from the same 1" hole visible on each side of the hatch once the back door finisher lower panel is removed. One set of nuts is clearly visible by looking through the hole and the other set are actually bolts about 1.5" more towards the rear of the Z hatch.

Yes the 10mm is needed for both. Be very careful removing the nuts and bolts because if they fall, they slide towards the front of the hatch between the open spaces. May want to stuff a paper towel in there to prevent the nut/bolt from sliding towards the front of the hatch. I had to use a magentic extension to fish the first one out. Lessons learned.

That being said, why should we care about your wing?
