Where'd you order from? I got mine yesterday from Haney Motorsports and didn't get anything other than the wing, hardware and instructions.

That's how they come. whoever is installing it has to use their own 2x tape, and lots of it.

3m tape is the industry standard for holding moldings and badges on the surface of the car.

This is what mine looks like at the moment

I HATE it. It sucks @ss! At least it still looks damn good from far away.

I'll get it fixed AGAIN eventually but I have bigger things to spend on.

Ditto...

Give it the few days.
Mine showed up on 3 separate pkg in span of 3 weeks.

Wing first,
Then 3rd brake light the week later,
then instructions/bolts and nuts(no tape of anysort) week later

E-mail sent to Saleen wondering where all my stuff is during this time = 10+
Replay telling me that they are shipping in 3 pkgs = 0


Damn saleen..

and i believe 03 was the first year of the sideburn. but IMO the S351/S281-E wing is the way to go. Ive had both and I definitely wouldnt do 281 again

I got mine for $236 shipped from Haney Motorsports. I didn't get the 3m double sided tape, but that wont be hard to get. Its an authentic saleen wing so i guess that makes it crap , but i dont have any complaints with the smoothness....some edges around the brake light need straightening. These are surprisingly thick and heavy compaired to the stocker.
