Not one of these threads. Next thing you'll ask is best time for a bottom mount manifold with a battery in the back.

You just wait until Sept. Once I finally get my FCS pro stock wing to work we will see. I have about 60 more hours of fitting work left and then off to paint to remove all the slag spray and lint from the powder coating, then paint, then buy all the missing hardware.
From there it is on!

Than you have to line up and drill the side portions of the wing to match up to the main portion of the wing. You also have to drill 40 matching holes to the piano hinge so when you go to bolt the wing it matches up. Than you have to drill the bottom of the piano hinge to the trunk and make sure the alignment is looking correct.
You have to cut down the side section of the wing so the sides of the wing sit flush, my wing had welding slag and lint all over it but underneath the powder coating. I had to sand it all down which sucks because you pay like an additional $75 bucks for the powder coating and yes I have pictures of how bad it looked.
Once you drill the wing out their is no hardware to put it all together. You either have to buy rivets or like I did buy the 1/8 bolts and lock nuts to fasten everything together which cost me another 40 plus dollars. Oh and the other hardware the 4 stabilizer rods or whatever they are called are raw metal and not coated. They are also not pre-drilled to put the locking pin in to hold it together. So once all that is installed you have to drill those out so you can added the locking clip.
Now after all of that I have to paint the wing which I can do but it costs materials to do this.

I warned you not to buy anything from that guy, but you didn't listen. In the future, people should really look into Whitfield products.

Since I could not find any install tips or any other reviews or a "how to" I may post something up for the next guy or hopefully this can be a lesson learned moment LOL.

It's not that the wing itself doesn't fit the shape of the trunk, it's the fact that the "KIT" is not what I would consider an kit. Absolutely nothing is pre-drilled. The piano hinge comes in two pieces that have to be cut down, you could imagine how small a piano hinge. Well you have to drill out that tiny little hinge for the wing and to bolt to your trunk. The wing itself comes in three pieces and is not pre-drilled at all, so for me I had to drill out a total of about 64 holes in the wing about 40 on the top section because I liked the look of about 1 inch spacing and 12 on each side for the side portions of the wing.
Than you have to line up and drill the side portions of the wing to match up to the main portion of the wing. You also have to drill 40 matching holes to the piano hinge so when you go to bolt the wing it matches up. Than you have to drill the bottom of the piano hinge to the trunk and make sure the alignment is looking correct.

I had to sand it all down which sucks because you pay like an additional $75 bucks for the powder coating and yes I have pictures of how bad it looked.
