49877, shave the wing
Posted by 98Maron_GS, Jun-09-03 08:47 PM
How do i go about doing this and how much would it cost me. I really like the eclipse look without the wing it looks a lot cleaner. I know WTngClan did his and i want to know how and how hard it is from 1 to 10 thanks

if you have to ask if its hard you probably shouldn't be doing it yourself....


yes its hard if you have never done body work


no if you are experienced.

There's a picture follow through of what is basically involved. You'll need a welder and experience in body shops. Then afterwards you'd still have to get the rear end repainted. I wouldn't do it myself.

People here have had the turbo spoiler installed for about $475-1000... so I figure just shaving the wing might be a little cheaper.

8 very time consuming

as i explained to blinkbizkit500 last night theres the right way and then the ghetto way .. i did the right way

i rented a welding machine for like 150$ (i split it w/ a friend cuz he had to do some projects also)

made myself a little short shifter

welded all the holes shut (you have to sand first)

get a grinder (like 60$ you can prob get one cheaper tho)

grind down the welds till its a little below even

use bondo and get it all even

paint

thats the right way

the ghetto way

put like pieces of can or quarters or whateva behind the hole w/ bondo and get it all even

that isnt going to last that long if at all
your better off doing the right way .. but the poor mans way works also i had to use it for my doorcap holes .. it works
