Anyone with this wing or anyone info....I have a chance to get one at a really good price....a few questions...

Will if bolt right on like the stock one or would i have to fill in the holes ?

Here is a pic of mine...i didnt have a stock spoiler so i just had to drill 2 holes on each side. But you will need the one that has the extra piece that goes across the trunk with the 3rd brake light

Here is the pic, of the the one that I might be getting....I have the stock spoiler on the car.....Just wondering if i would have to fill any holes in or would it just bolt right up...

cause Shawn said that he just have to drill two holes....there is more than that on the 00-02 style spoiler, right ?? I was told by someone that there is two on each end and maybe two (i think) in the middle.....

Hope this clears some confusion up if there is any....





Thanks for the pic. Shawn

Ok just a warning, everyone i know that has this wing... has cracks in it. I dont know if its a wings west flaw, but for some reason it gets these little crack. And thats people with cavs all the way to integras.



I can measure it if you want. The cross bar is visable but not too distracting. its kinda low.

I had a 96 with a Z24 spoiler and used the stock holes plus the two at the points closest to the rear window. I didnt fill any holes.

I have the Wings West Commando Wing and it has no cracks in it, that's strange, I got mine like a little over a year ago, maybe they changed them in that time?! That's really odd.

I find the top bar is a little distracting but I am also really short. We drilled in a few extra
holes to be on the safe side cause I didn't want it to get jacked. But I didn't fill in any of the factory holes either.
My favorite wing on a cav!

I have had my Commando wing since it first came out, in fact I was one of the first to have it. It has never shown any "cracks". Maybe its a weather issue, since I live in California where it never gets very cold? Either way, I have never heard of such a problem.

i would not see how it would crack unless very poor preps were used and still
maybe most of em open teheir trunk and close it by pressing on the wing its hard to say sometimes but it could be a fact

Well i stand corrected then, Ive had two. Both have cracked. I have a friend also in pennsylvania with the commando on an integra as well as another friend in West Virginia with the same cracks. Maybe it is the colder weather.
