i just want to know how to put it on because it doesnt have any holes or brakets for it. it is made of fiber glass.

is it strong enough to hold on if someone were to yank on it? i dont want it to fall off on the freeway! i was wondering do put it on the same way as a body kit?
Well, I know the cerivinis wrap around mid-wing bolts on with no drilling, so I would imagine that the wings west one does too.
EDIT: Also you IMO you should jump on that wing, and I would almost swear that it is the wings west one, beacause of the pics and the price the add says it's worth is what WW is charging

There's gotta be some way to bolt it on. 3M double sided tape is strong, but not strong enough to hold that on. I'd assume that there are bolt holes in the wing and you'll have to drill through your hatch. I have a WW mid-wing for a Focus at my shop now and there are bolt holes in it, so I'd assume it's the same for the civic.
My friend had a jdm style midwing made of fiberglass too...He just took the cover lining from the inside of the hatch and drilled some holes through and bolted the spoilers/wing. Then put the cover back on and wallah...probably took him less than an hour to do.

but my wing didnt come with any hole or bolts. so maybe i should open up the hatch and take the trunk lining and drill holes thru it huh? im just worry if the wing will crack if i drill holes.
hey cwbetb thats a really nice hatch!

4G_civic_si thanks for the nice comment.
That is wierd, mine had like threaded holes for it. Is the one you have from Wings West or Mugen? Mugen may be different. I dont think you will have a problem drill through just be careful.
Actually Jason is right the only thing it is good for is holding bottles and food
Ah well I like it
