i just sold one of these just last week to dr. papadakalis.
there is two things that make this wing not on my "want list" after i got one...
professional install only: not a big thing i guess if you are painting your car at the same time but there is no bolt holes in the flange that will match up with the OEM holes and you would definitely need to put several bolts in the flange while fiberglassing them on the inside of the wing to get it to work. i'm talking like ten bolts at the minimum.
cuda emblem bump: in the middle of the wing there is a bump that you place the cuda emblem on. i guess if you went with this wing and were doing alot of bodywork ,getting rid of that bump if you didn't have the emblem wouldn't be a big deal. if you don't have the emblem i think it would look kinda odd to have that bump in the middle of the wing, right in the center, having no purpose being there. also, actually finding good cuda emblems would be a golden spike on a railroad if you catch my drift.
the main thing i did like about it...It only weighs 6.4 lbs.!!! if you look at it in the pics you would think it would weigh much more but it truthfully doesn't.
getting this wing with a wing west front bumper i think would make a attractive combination.
the only reason i bought it cause at the time i wanted it and didn't know there was a difference in hatchbacks between the RD1 and RD2. it was taking up space in my apt. and was glad it went to someone i know will actually get it on there car.

Spiffywerks has one on his white RD2. It's part of the Cuda body kit. Has to be molded to the hatch I believe, so it does require body work. It's not as easy as putting in a couple bolts.

Looks better on the RD2 in my opinion.
it's never looked better on any car than it did on Spiffywerks' (the white tib)
