    bodywork guru question on fitting this roof wing

    have this wing wing laying around and been wanting to mount it now that its warm and i have some spare time.

    the wing lines up. i need to figure out a way to trim and bend the corners down to the shape of the back glass.

    im pretty handy and do have a heatgun/dremal/sander/epoxy/spot putty etc...

    anything can be accomplished with enough time and money. even if you do shape it, how will that mount?

                        If it's flimsy it might be as simple as sanding, trimming, and 3M taping. But if it is rather rigid, you will need some plastic filler to make it look right and then sanding, trimming etc...I'm just one opinion.

                          Looks to me like you'd need to take material out of the center in order to make it wrap around the curve of the rear glass.

                            That isn't even close to fitting. Sleep on it first it's going to look like a retarded ricer.

                              Fiberglass resin is firm, it will not bend, you would have to cut it to the shape you want it and create the new shape with fiberglass matting.
                              Not easy, I wouldn't recommend it
