i payed $1300 shipped. i agree with your reasoning. but the rear view on this wing is not so great. i curls up quite a bit in the center, looks alittle too tall from the rear. tell me what you think when you get yours on.

Opinions anyone? be brutally honest, no offense will be taken.

$1100 picked up! I agree on the cab. Mine isn't one unit with the deck lid. There's a seem which made all the difference. I assume you have an integrated deck lid.

no i don't, it's the same for both. it is a different piece than the decklid. it drops into the grill area. i'll post a pic tomorrow. drove the X5 today.

Eric,
I'm sure Tom at Lucent has a way for a OG turbo lid to fit on your car. Or fit the Techart blade on an aftermarket.

Thanks Eric for the mod tip. Lid is being installed currently. Do you see any problems retrofitting some thing after it's installed?

pieball,
it could be placed on later, but would require another paint job. i know how it is to have some work done on your car and want it back the minute after you drop it off, but i would sieze the work and do the mod now if you can. it would only set you back 1-3 days.

eric,
not a bad deal if it ends low. thanks....

arling,
are you crazy, i told you i'm going to buy that '96 toyota celica wing and crazy glue it on my car for 10% of that gt-3rs cup wing. or i could just steal a lunch bench from the local elementary school and bolt it to the back of my car. it's all about the RUF wing. can't seem to find anything better so far.
