All you have to do is take off the 4 accorn nuts that hold on the wing. Then you can either use washers or you can just use two of the accorn nuts to shim the wing. Either way, you have to do it to the two nuts that are closest to the rear of the car. Use how ever many washers you want to get the desired pitch. I personally just used the accorn nuts to shim it up. Just put the two rear nuts on the stems before you mount the wing back on the car. Then just use the front two nuts to secure it to the car. It has a nice angle and the wing is plenty secure with just the two front nuts holding it on.

I've never seen anybody mod the sides but im sure you could do it with some time and effort...If you can get a spare wing itd be cool to experiment on.

I tried it on my hatch and it doesn't look to bad IMO and no, rain does not get in. Btw has anybody ever seen an aftermarket duckbill for an EF as listed in the link above?

I just did this a few hours ago to my car. It took all but 5-10 minutes. It Was Very

Simple, I didn't use any wasthers though, I just put the bolt back on the studs. The

Wing/Spoiler what ever you call it doesn't rattle at all either.

Job Well Done
