1000x better than same price Duraflex junk.

I say its worth $700 now that Im done. When I first got it I was concerned how rubbery it was. About the same thickness as factory but less ridged. Kinda like rubber floormats they made years ago. My painter wouldn't paint it and that got my head messed up. He said it was too flexible. That the paint would crack. I painted it myself and I had no problems. One thing about the fit. It fits even better if you don't mind doing a little modifying. It fit right out of the box but for some odd reason its 1/2 " longer from the wheel opening to the curve around the headlight. That bugged me so.I bought a couple of side bumper mounting brackets and moved the mounting point back 1/2". Now its fine. I'm still.not done tweeking it. It started storming so I took a break.

This pdf is exactly what you do to install. If you look close at the final pic you can kinda see how it fits the curve out of the box.

Tell me about the wing, I have a 986 and honestly this is the first wing I’ve seen that looks really GOOD. Still not sure I would do it, but I’ll share my thoughts.

This is the wing. Which I really liked too but as is it wouldn't fit my Ztop. Legs were too short. I had to cut them off and add the metal wing legs. The hatch on the Ztop sits low between the qtrs. Might work on a Boxster trunk.
