First off i'd like to say that everyone who told me that the s281 wing would fit like crap was correct. this is the second wing i have tried to get prepped (5 body shops refused to work on the first one i received).
This second wing actually was not pitted and cracked like the first. So i take it in and it gets prepped, installed and painted...but when the shop goes to unmask the trunk where they painted, they peel off a few decent sized chunks of my trunklid paint. so at least im happy the wing is installed, BUT then i notice it doesnt even sit flat ok trunk lid, and one sid is nearly 1 and 1/2 inches higher than the other side. then one of the sides decides to start lifting up...
So i take the car in AGAIn to get the trunk repainted and tell them the wing looks like hell and they repainted the trunk at a cost to me ( because it wasnt them, it was fords crappy paint that should be covered under warranty.. HAHa bastards) so as long as im spending some money again for the trunk, i tell them to re install the wing and make it fit right...
FInally it looks awesome now....but it cost in total $750 ....to prep, install, and paint the wing (and repaint my trunk)
i am however very pleased with the new look of the car and it was definately worth the hassle and money. Waxed it and took some pics...
BEFORE:
(is that not the ugliest thing you have ever seen? i dont even know who this guy is my friend brought him over and unfortunately he wasnt very sober)
Paint Peeled off
AFTER:
the wax job
and my 2 favorite pics....
