Rear wing rant!

Yesterday I popped my trunk, then shut it. I heard this pop. MY middle support fucking broke.... I NEVER open my trunk. NEVER. Im going to take it off this weekend to investigate. But it just pissed me off.

That is all. Thanks.

Trust me, not enough to bust anything.... I got 1 rockford punch 12. that is all.

This is the part that pisses me off, I want to mod my car sooooo bad, but cant because i keep having to replace crap that breaks... GRRRRRRR....

The spoiler > spoilerless debate has gone on as much as the 2.3 > 3.0 (notice the order ) debate. Stock looks better with a spoiler, but like in kleptos case, i cant see his car with one. i think it would look goofy.

OK, so how did you fix it?
I took my spoiler off last night, came to the conclusion that with or without a spoiler I like the car.
Regaurdless. I tried gorilla gluing the piece that broke off. That didnt work. It broke again after I put it back on.

So either I try something else, or find a new wing and have it painted....

Not all projects are diy'able especially if you want em done professionally, that costs lots of $$$$$$ Plus I just went salary for my job and had to wait a month to get a paycheck or my coils would be on already. Going friday to get my suspension estimate FINALLY! And installing a few more things this week Trust me I do a lot of diy mods, but some that I'm doing are too big. If you don't have money, can't go as fast as you want, it's comin

Meh, you're entitled to your opinion, personally I think the wing matches perfectly, fits our rear. I've seen our car with the 2 gen wing, not as good IMO.

The 3rd brake light is not hooked up when you have a stock wing, the wire runs to the trunk, no need to fix it
