Ill try looking for it, they found me a shop thats ment to have them here localy but i dont think they are still open lol


Also, would this wing actually fit my car? Ive got the 3 pillar small one, but this has the 2 pilar, so does that mean ive got one extra hole?

Sad thing is Ive actually seen a OEM shark wing on a riced out neon here in town... its an A/T, steelies, crappy tinted taillights, edelbrock and autometer stickers all over it, rust, and a f***ing OEM sharkwing... usual rockford ricebox.

Not to menting it says NEON in huge gothic style (beaner style) letters on the trunk... HUGE!

Some of the OEM Shark wings that were available in Australia until a few years ago were 2-pillar only. For some reason we got both 2 & 3 pillar wings.

Impossible to find them here now though sad.gif

But Os, if you do end up ordering from this place, find out what the shipping would be & if buying 2 wings at the same time would bring that cost down at all... I'd be in for one if the cost isn't ridiculous.

i've ordered from autopartswarehouse twice now and all orders came really fast because they're probably based in delaware like 2 hours away from me. although i've never ordered anything large from them, only 02 sensors and don't know about their international shipping policies.

but from my experience, both times they've sent me what i ordered quick, packaged well, and with all information.

i don't like the podless shark spoiler but if that's the only way to get one then i'd say go for it. it would be a nice way of avoiding customs.

the Neons with them are from Wingswest, they are ordered from any car magazine from the supermarket. Oz and Os, I'd hook you up if I knew a thing or two about customs. Problem is I do know a thing or two about customs and I just want to say that without a business license you're going to pay close to $1000 on top of the spoiler.
