ts50 wing fit straight on to mine, got mine from awc. it didnt line up 100% but when they screwed it on it fixed up.

AU2PWR · 13-03-2007, 07:33 PM

thats ,, a bit outta shape ..

Bucknaked · 13-03-2007, 08:05 PM

Mine needed a little work to fit. They just enlarged the screw holes on the boot lit, just a little and it fits. But that looks way out of shape. Your not having much luck with these rear wings

**Mechan1k** · 13-03-2007, 09:33 PM

See ... that's what you get for buying a wing ... Falcons are meant to be wingless.
:hihi:

There I had to say it ... hee hee

when i was fitting my rear bar i had to whip out the blow torch to straighten one side of the bar that seemed to kink inwards. Heated it up got it in the position i wanted it, and while i held it my mate put cold water on the bar to cool it down so now its in the right position.

It doesn't look too bad - sure the holes don't line up on the right, but they don't on the left either.

Just make the boot lid holes a little larger and the wing will fit no worries at all. I had to do that to mine, as did bucky. Being fibreglass, the wing will flex a little making it fit OK.

ummm no it does look bad it is about 2 inches out of wack, i would have to drill new holes and the excisting ones would still be visable that how uch out of wack it is, it doesnt even sit on boot flush there are huge gaps around the base

That's what you call quality control at it's finest.

So it does fit! lol. Good work on the customisation!

LG · 15-03-2007, 08:08 AM

Not a good idea to be stretching fibreglass? Wouldn't cracks start to appear, because of the amount of pressure on the wing?

Mark351 · 15-03-2007, 08:14 AM

FTG had genuine ones, which is where mine was sourced from. No such problems...

Racecraft · 15-03-2007, 09:06 AM

as a tip, take it off and fill the holes with heaps of sickaflex then put it back on before it sets.. I know that even the factory holes can leak water into the boot if you don't centre the spoiler correctly, i can imagine if you had to elongate the holes what might happen

GXL078 · 15-03-2007, 09:13 AM

I hate aftermarket parts that you pay good money for and they don't fit. Like Rare Spares - for parts that RARELY fit!

2002auxr6 · 15-03-2007, 05:44 PM

its on and looks ok

mattp · 15-03-2007, 05:57 PM

Looks good even

2002auxr6 · 15-03-2007, 05:59 PM

yeah i guess it looks good, the gay tow ball make the back end look a bit shitty though

Fibresports are HOPELESS. I ordered and paid for a front skirt for my car that was in at the panel beaters last week, it was supposed to be express posted and be up here by last friday. I had to pick the car up from the panel beaters unfinished so a guy could come test drive it because it was for sale. Such crap service, i rang them up and told them just how hopeless they were. His excuse was thier computers were down?? Like you need a computer to be able to post something on time!

BTW, be weary of that spoiler.. fibreglass isn't that flexible and if its under pressure cracks may form. You want to put as little pressure on it as possible.
