Hartge Wing too long for trunk

[Hartge_H27]

It looks fine. when the wings were new they had a sticker that went on the rear's to protect the paint.

Looks great in my opinion. And for $50, mine was a steal.

I just think it will look goofy when I open the trunk and 1.25" of the wing will be hanging off each side

[Beastolizer]

it will sit onto the quarter, unless this is some strange spoiler no one has ever seen.

does it look like this?

Nope. Looks like this:

real Hartge wing

Have the same wing as well. Hangs over as mentioned.

Bootlid Spoilers like this are very commonly attached not only by the 10mm nuts, but also by double sided tape. I don't want to be responsible for breaking any mounting brackets on it, but if you don't care about the car the spoiler is currently on, take a putty knife and start from the end to see if white stuff starts peeling off. Chances are by now the tape is as hard as rock but it will crumble off bit by bit with the putty knife.

It will mount up, don't whig out. You will have to drill the holes aprox 1/2-3/8" from the outside lip of the trunk. then bolt it down. You could add pics to this thread just to be sure...

...what happens to the ~1" hanging over the rear quarter panel? Cause it doesn't appear that It's going to sit flush on the rear-quarter panel?

Oh well...this wing is hot and I'm gonna go for it anyway. Now I need to start gathering my painting supplies and do the prep work! :D

Yep, don't stress, thats what r3v is for.

So what would you guys suggest I do?

I really want this wing on my car :curse:

[Farbin Kaiber]

Farbin, I just ran outside to see if that was the problem, and it looks to be. The holes will fit on the ftrunk, but then there is a little over an inch of overlay onto the quarter panels.

My wing has a Hartge stamp on the bottom with like a 5 or 6 number code, did yours have this?

The real Hartge wing hangs way over onto the rear quarterpanels
