Oh, that's so friggin' hot. And since you modeled it on yours, it would look perfect on my black rd2 too. wink1.gif Seriously though, it's beautiful!

I like it man, it's a little more pronouced than the stock shark spoiler. Almost looks bigger too, but that could be just cause it's on a 2nd gen.

Good job man looks great. I actually like the middle pillar not being there. Hopefully there aren't many issues for you there though. It would be a shame.

Thanks for the comments guys! When I first got the wing when it came primered I liked how it looked but a few of my friends said it looked ricey. The wing itself I do not think would look good on ANY car except the RD Tiburons. I mounted it as far away from the trunk as possible, so theres about +/- 2" for it to move back. Any further up and it would've tipped over so it's mounted on the best spot on the trunk..

It didn't have to be modified at all to fit! My friend's dad painted the wing for me and I believe he might have sanded it down a little on the bottom, but that's all that I know of. I believe this wing was MADE for the RD2's because the only pics I have seen of this wing are on RD2s.. as shown on www.wings-plus.com and www.sportcompactonly.com among others. All the parts needed for installation except the drill/drill bits and such are included.

It definitely does look bigger and more pronounced than the OEM shark wing, but I like it! A more aggressive look. Never had a problem with it 'bending' at high speeds either. I floored the car from like 20-80 or so and didn't notice any kind of problems. Even under hard cornerning the thing doesn't budge. It is quite a site looking out the rearview mirror and seeing it!
