-not SIR ^_-

Recently i was browsing and saw an EF with with a raised STOCK wing.. i thought the idea was cool, and was wondering if anyone knew what thread it was in?? Just a stock wing, raised on an angle....

??!!


thanks...

 

like mine?

 

my friend did it to his hatch... he just put some washers under the wing where it bolts and tilted it up.. looks hella JDM yo!!!

YES!! exactly.. thanks man.. I really like it.

how did you achieve that anyway?.. that washer method?..... I'm thinking about using your idea. Is there any problems opening the hatch??&gt;...

 

no extra parts needed.

all u have to do, is remove all 4 little nuts, put the 2 rear ones back on, then re-install the wing.

the nuts are like acorns, and will sit right in the holes the studs used to go through, and the front 2 nuts will hold the spoiler on just fine!

 

and no problems at all.

 

I like the look of it.

 

thanks for the explanation..... i'm going to try it this weekend if i can.


who knows.. you might have started a new trend ^_-

 

bah.. cant take credit for it, i think i saw it on somebody elses car on the net first..

but it only takes like 5 minutes, literally..

just put the rear nuts back on the studs, and use the front ones to secure it.

and its a LOT easier with a friend

 

im gunna do that this weeekend..... and prob ordering a sir bumper if i can find one

 

i just sold one with bumper lights, and support for $300 shipped...

u missed it by 3 days!

 

not trying to make this thread into an add.. but just to help out.. my friend is selling a good condition JDM front Bumper (only)

TheNick

whatever price he has i'm sure you can work with him.. ^_-

How to angle up your spoiler
Items needed:
10mm socket with wrench
WD-40 or similar product
4+ washers

Install time:
5-10mins (quickest and easiest if you have another person helping)

Step by step
1. Open trunk

2. Locate (4) 10mm nuts (caution: these might be really rusty, so a good soak of WD-40 or whatever product would be a good thing)
Passenger side

Driver side


3. Unbolt the nuts

4. Lift spoiler carefully

5. Put several washers on the rear spoiler holes and align them to that hole ( Add washers for desired angle)

*Note if adding more than 4+ washers per side, you will not need to bolt on the rear nuts since there wouldnt be enough thread length. Several people have installed it this way it holds up just fine with only the 2 front nuts bolted on.

6. Bolt on nuts

7. Close hatch

8. Sit back and enjoy your accomplishment!!
(I went for the more conservetive look with just 2 washers. It sits more flat with the roof and it tiny bit noticeable if other people are in the know.)

Nice thread Chris!

and *cough cough SEE SIG cough cough*

cheap and easy mod.

 

Do you need washers to do this? If you do where to you get them from?

Mr.Quang,

glad yo see you got the bumper, and it looks AWESOME!

oh, and kulangot.. thats for re-posting that.. THAT is the best/easiest way to do it!

 

i just did this, and yeah it only takes a few minutes, though i had to lengthen my already tight 3rd brake light wires.

 

ok, since the washers only give you like 1/8th of an inch, and to me that is NOT noticeable..

while you have it like that, and since you are not usin the two nuts (the ones closest to you in that pic) just put them back on the studs.

then slap the wing back on, and only use the front two nuts.

thats how i did it, and i think it looks badass!

 

Heres my modded stock wing
