Is it the same height as your old one?

Yes it the same as the old one. Put a coat of spray paint on it and didn't look very good. Really showed a lot of the imperfections. Did a little filling in and sanded again. Think I will have a shop do it so it looks good. Got a couple of quotes for just under $200.

Not a bad quote to get it done right. Can't wait to see it done and mounted!

I talked to a painter that we used to use when I was workin for these car guys and he said he could probably do it for $150. Gonna have it a satin black color and he said if he was already doing something that color he would charge half that but just rarely paints that color. Told me to get some black trim paint from the auto paint store; just cheaper and he thought it would hold up. So I sprayed it and I do notice a small crack where the wing is bonded together in one spot. Scares me a little bit. If anyone buys one of these wings they do need a little work. They are molded using a few different pieces and you can see where they are bonded together.

Finally put this wing on. Fits like crap. Had to have my brother push down in the middle of it to get the ends to fit over the roof so I could drill the holes and put the screws in. And since it had to be "stretched" wider, cracks appeared. Plus the front part of the wing doesn't go all the way down. Not happy. Already sold the old one also.
