oh also just line up the template with the bottom to double check. I am 99.9% sure I used the template I sent you but always double check brotha.

Thank you! I also got remark exhaust. I got oil change ramp(I should've buy jack), but I couldn't replace it. Today is not going well for me ?
Another problem is I'm living in apartment I don't have place for doing all these things..

Oh man the remark is supposed to be very nice!! I tried to install my Greddy SP and had to take it to shop and pay $150. I got myself a jack and some jack stands after that... Cost me like $200 and now I can do it next time so it's definitely worth it.

I went my friend for installing remark exhaust. And guess what.. one pipe was missing....

Trying to reach maperformance..... today was real bad day for me......

Damn bro I am sorry to hear that. Sounds like this is one thing after another. It will all work out in the end!

Yes. It's okay. Everything happens for a reason. I called maperformance. They contacted remark. Remark said there should be 2 boxes. So basically maperformance didn't send second box. They'll send it. Let's see.

Maan finally i got my exhaust and Wing installed!
it was kinda hard for wing. I couldn't put all 4 bolts on it. Ended up with 3.... i hope it won't fly off.... mechanic told it's strong enough no worries. But I'm not really sure. I may get extra winglet from absdynamics for the right side, because I believe that we messed up bolt inside right winglet.
when i first drilled; I cannot explain how i felt. But after that I couldn't turn back. I was gonna sell wing. Then I said it's okay let's finish it. The best thing is sealant? I believe i used real good products for sealing and method was good either.

Btw for future reference;
Bolt size for winglet is:
M6-1.0 i believe original is 65. But you need to get 70 or 75. Original is short.

For right side i ended up with adding 2 extra holes inside of trunk. But still couldn't install 2 bolts only 1 successfully installed.
i hope nothing gonna happen..

Did you do some 3m tape around the outside??

I bought 3M tape but i only use blue gasket and rubber pad. I was gonna use it, but i was tired, I spent 3-4 hours at mechanic. I know 3M tape help a lot for holding it. But I feel like If i put 3m, there will be vibration, and rattling. 3M looks thin to me. Idk I may order right winglet again if it's possible and change the right winglet only. Because I believe bolt inside is wore out. I don't usually drive fast. I don't feel it's perfect installation. I probably will try to fix it later. I really messed up specially right inside of trunk ??‍There are 4 holes ? I would give $100-150 for perfect installation. But body shops around here idk they're decent.. that's why i create this thread. But couldn't find any place.
so let's hope nothing gonna happens...

Given that some people have had issues with the threaded inserts coming out.... I would use 3m tape. Especially since yours is only held on by one bolt on one side..........

Why would a soft spongy material like the molding tape vibrate? That makes no sense. It will make less vibration.

I had no vibration for 30k miles and lots of highway driving over 70mph on mine. 3M tape is stronger than the bolts. It may look thin, but it was ridiculously hard to take off, it is very high quality.

Sounds like you're a gambling man. I hope this works out for you.

I mean I used 3m for meeting points. And I'll probably take it off and put it back again with proper installation. Already sent message to absdynamics for purchasing only right base piece.
