Hi Guys

Well as the topic suggests I bought a Replica Evo 8/9 Wing. I'm going to put it on my WW Ralliart like this:

From what I've read when you put a new wing on you put down a sticky seal type thing???
Where do I purchase some of that stuff from?

Any ideas/help is appreciated.

Thanks
Jarryd

The wing hasn't come with any. Is it really that simple?

hey awesome!!! that looks pretty good. Did you end up just tapping it on or put some screws in? need to drill any new holes?

The install took a bit of time but it was nothing too serious. The evo 9 spoiler mounts with two holes. The hole towards the rear of the car lines up perfectly, the other does not. But I figured the spoiler is way easier to replace than the boot so i decided to drill two new holes in each side of the spoiler. One where the old spoiler mounted and then in the side of the upright as an inspection hole. The inspection hole allowed me to put a nut on the bolt. I could do that as the carbon fibre insert on the side of the spoiler comes off and thus is hiding the hole :-).

Thanks

Looks really good.

Does it block much of your vision in the rear view mirror?

I believe there is more vision than before with the VRX spoiler.

That wing is ORSM! :D
Tho, I'd say that as I got one in blue.
I guess good looks are contagious. :P

Some call it a shopping trolley, but they're just hatin' :)
