71913, Once and for all....are there ANY aftermarket wings that will fit stock 3 piece holes? Posted by blinkbizkit500, May-09-04 10:44 AM
I've heard so many different answers with this question, please only post here if you know for sure. Are there any at all? If so, what kinds and does anyone know the best place to get them? TIA!

As far as I know thetre is no aftermarket wing that will cover the holes in the fenders. Kaminaris wing uses two/three of the five stock holes on the trunk but you have to bore up two of your own.No wing uses the holes on the fenders though I think...so they still have to be welded shut and painted over to make it look good.

no there are none. even if you get the WW 3-piece (the one that kinda looks like the high spoiler on the 3000gt's) you will still hafta fill holes. the WW 3piece is the only spoiler which mounts on the rear quarter panels and the hatch. while there may be other which utilize the same holes on the hatch, there will still be holes on your rear quarter panels.

Even if there was you would still have to fill the holes on the hatch.

i heard that 3 piece, if its the same one, uses the same holes, except you have to fill in the ones in the very middle.

I think I heard of one that lets you keep the 2 side pieces and it uses the same holes as the middle piece....anyone confirm/deny this? thanks for the responses so far guys

no, its different sides the one im talkin about. the sides are higher. its a high wing like the turbo, but its spans 3 pieces.

ok that's actually true but it looks kinda dumb (no offense to anyone with it). you leave the two side pieces of the stock 3 piece on and just replace the middle section. of course the side pieces do not match the new middle portion but at least you don't hafta fill holes. i'm sure someone has pics of it... i think it's like the GTR wing or something that you can do that. the sides don't match the wing though...

420 is right The three piece from WW is using stock holes of fenders....and you dont use stock wing pieces there...the ones with the WW wing are higher.However you will still be left with holes in the middle of the trunklid...so either way you will have to fill some holes and paint up.

I am pretty sure the "wangan" carbon fiber wing from importfan uses all the stock holes. I have never actually seen one on an Eclipse aside from their test fit thing so I couldn't tell ya.

NO
it does not use the mounting holes on the quarter panel if it did you would NOT be able to open the trunk :wary
no offense guys but he asked for only people who know to answer - not a lot of guesses

so to review: your only option which requires NO filling of ANY holes would be to keep the side pieces of the stock 3pc low spoiler and find an aftermarket center section which does not interfere with the sides. it would not look pretty however (IMO)
