After the bolts are installed, these finisher plugs give the installation a neat look. The factory hatch bumpers are also replaced with these adjustable parts.
These receivers for the hatch bumpers are bolted to the top of the OEM spoiler mounts and the mounts are then retracted into the car. These mounts support a lot of the downforce the wing creates will still allowing the hatch to open like a factory part. This system can safely support hundreds of pounds of force.
Once the mounts are retracted, the plug that raises and lowers them is unplugged so the car’s ECU won’t try to raise the wing that isn’t there anymore.
The swan neck wing supports are bolted to the sides of the spoiler.
Next, the wing main element is attached to the swan neck mounts and the end plates are attached.
The rear wing is now in place, we adjusted it to the flat position for our initial setup.

I absolutely love this project. The shot of the undertray with the oil pan sitting perfectly flush is a testament to how well all these parts are engineered. I bet that thing is a riot on track.
Been following this build from day 1, really impressed with the detail and how well through out the car is. I have the same car that I’m building out in a similar fashion and was wondering which roll bar you have in the car? Mine is white also, and I love the single bar through the rear window and the white powder coat.
It’s from BBi.
I’ve been really enjoying this build. I’m excited to see if you guys share some results from the track!

Hahahaha Mike! That undertray defuser looks really great.
