The stabilizer bars on the back are interesting, can't decide whether or not I like them :hmm:
Do they help a lot with the flex?
Yeah they’re definitely an acquired taste looks wise but they help a ton with stabilizing the wing and there’s essentially zero flex or bouncing at high speeds so it ended up being worth it for me.

Considering trying them out, where'd you get them/how was the install?

I got some generic black splitter support rods off of eBay; mine were the 15cm size.

The install was fairly straight forward but does involve drilling a couple more holes into your trunk. I measured and lined everything up twice to make sure it was even and equal before I drilled.

After that it’s a matter of bolting in the one end of the splitter rod into the trunk and then screwing the other end into the spoiler. I forget the size but the screws weren’t that long and they were self tapping; there’s enough material in the spoiler that the screws were able to “grab” and secure themselves.

Measure and line up everything twice and you should be good to go.

Hi, do you have a template for the install? Thanks!
Like the template to line up on the trunk and show you where to drill holes? I'm sorry I don't, when I purchased the Wing the seller sent a template that I used... there might be a template on a post somewhere on the forum though.

Well, I got mine all installed today! I know ya'll have HBs but I thought I'd show what the Coupe looks like with it on. Install was straightforward but still pretty challenging; I think it turned out well and getting up to 60 the wing seemed pretty stable. Will report back if anything changes.

Hi. Ive got a sedan 2016. Would you mind posting more picture of the spoiler specially the back end. And does it block any part of your rear view?

I’ve got some pics in my garage you should check out then let me know if you want to see different pics.

It’s definitely there and blocks your view a little bit but not enough to be an issue for me. I’ll take a pic of my rear view for you then post it.

So it seems absdynamics is the best full size wing, others on ebay are half size and block rear view a bit. But where did you guys get your vortex generators? I know there'd be more shaking without vortex generators and good padding.

Got this installed last week at my local shop in the 626. Paint + Labor = $500, Wing = ABS (off ebay) $190.

No noise from traveling at freeway speeds (75+). Hatch is a rather heavier to open, but easier to close now (on the bright side).
