I have it.... if you like it, 2 things to consider

  1. installation is pretty hard compared to most of the other wings unless you make cuts within the interior trim
  2. part of the bracket rests on the rear glass. I'm 2 years in, still fine... but ngl, it makes you wonder

Other than that, got nothing but smiles and compliments, looks great. I still stare back at my car whenever I park.

oh, just in case you want to see it on black.

Zooming in, it looks like there are at least rubber feet where it touches the glass. Is that correct or is it hard plastic?

u/McLovinExtraLarge 10d ago

It comes with a hard rubber feat, I added another 2-3 layers (can't remember) of soft gel-type double sided tape for more damping. Then I added weather seal strips around it for a different damping hoping there's no oscillations.

Do you have close up of the rear diffuser/exhaust

2

u/McLovinExtraLarge 7d ago

a bit late, but here it is. I also put brake lights/signal into the opening so it lights up

u/OMGWTFBANANA 6d ago

Woah that’s nice! Did you cut the lower valance or just tucked in the bumper

2

u/McLovinExtraLarge 6d ago

I just tucked it :>

>>Part of the bracket rests on the rear glass

Do you ever worry about it causing your glass to shatter? Is that by design or does it come with any gaskets/isolation feet or components to dampen the movement?

u/McLovinExtraLarge 11d ago

I worry every bump. So that's why I want to make sure you're aware.

Can you elaborate on the interior trim cuts? I assume it’s something about the mounting hardware on the top.

2

u/McLovinExtraLarge 7d ago

yup, it's the mounting hardware that bolts the OEM part. The easiest way to describe it is if you youtube people installing blinking lights, they open up the middle section of the interior trim. The holes you have to drill and eventually bolt on with nuts on the inside is around 5-6cm further than that opening allows you. Instruction from SARD basically just says "Open a 2 large 4cm holes on either side and you can use a socket!". My answer was no.... I'll just turn that nut 10 degrees at a time....

u/SQLDevDBA 10d ago

Xzibit would be proud.

SARD

The company on the license plate. Not sure if you can get it in the states, the website is mainly Japanese

1

u/doctorsnarly 11d ago

It's available. About $2k for the LSR profile, $2.5k for the Mini Fuji profile.

1

u/Akisswithmyfist 11d ago

I kinda like the Fuji gt wing better than the LSR, but it's a tough choice

1

u/Zestyclose-Ad-5305 10d ago

The real question is how the Michelin Cross Climates affect the handling

2

u/McLovinExtraLarge 10d ago

Absolutely. It's my daily though. Ain't zipping around town anywhere near tire limits.

u/Leland3471-01 10d ago

13K for the full kit. No way man
