so i just bought a saleen wing for my convertible. its a new wing so it needs to be sanded down alot. i was wondering if there were any sharp edges that i should leave or is everything round? i dont wanna sand off anything that i shouldn't.

also it doesnt have a third brake light in it, how hard is it too install one?

thanks

Verts didn't have a third light in the wing. They used the one mounted on the deck lid. As far as sanding, unless its extremely rough I would just scuff,prime, paint.

It would cost more to make that straight than buying a new one.
