Default Help with rear wing (mugen)

So a little while ago I bought a mugen lip wing for my 96 accord. I believe the wing is meant for a 94/95 model because there is a 1.5" gap bellow the wing on both sides of the trunk when I line it up. What are the differences between the 94/95 trunk lid and the 96/97(I realize the taillights are different). I will try to post some pics, but first I need to find a camera. So If I am correct and the wing is not meant for my car.........well....I will probably be selling it.

Sorry to hear that it doesn't fit, that is a bummer that you have such a great piece and can't put it on your car. If you want to get rid of it, shoot me a PM.

Yes it is painted, the color is dark green I believe its emerald green, I don't know the exact name for it. But there are quite a bit of scratches on it, nothing major but I would recommend having them cleaned up.

If anyone is interested make me an offer. I will try to get some pics in the next day or two

Those wings are s00per rare. Aren't they CF? And it looks fine on your car so what's the prob?
