slick all the way around, no recession where the wiper or the nozzle would go. just 1 hole for the 3rd brake light.

they will take it back if it doesnt fit, but its really looking like itll fit no problem. i wont be able to get it put on for a couple of days at the best, or a week at the worst.

i asked about cf fenders and they will do it for 450 per pair. (maybe down to $350 if we get a lot of people for a group buy??)

just like he said.
some metal packed on by some FG should do the trick.

honestly i wouldnt feel comfortable putting a wing on it. its really thin. a brace would keep it attached but then there will be stress points where the brace is and i can just visualize it cracking. it would have to be a simple spoiler (or a cf supra-like spoiler...hmmm..i wonder smile.gif ) and you would have to close it by taking hold of the hatch lid instead of the spoiler.

So why do you reuse the bloody heavy chunk of glass rather than plexi?

also note if you live in CA and decide to pick it up, they charge tax, and the total comes out to $460.06. add $150 to install the glass and the total is $610. ouch....i forgot how much it was till now, lol
