How do I go about using bondo?I want to delete my rear window and antenna as well, do I need to plug the holes with something first?
Weld them up preferably.

Would I be able to fiberglass the holes shut? I don't know the first thing about working with fiberglass but I'd like to start learning so I can eventually build myself a subwoofer box. For Fiberglassing would I patch the inside and then fill from the outside? I may just take the wing off when I delete the rear wiper, washer and antennae.
this is close to what i'm looking for. i want bigger fins though

gstcop said:if at some point you race the car then you want a wing. It helps the handling and down force. You may want to invest in one that you can adjust depending on whether drag racing or autocross. It costs more but as I said adjusting could help out more the faster you go.
That is a good point, and the reason im looking to change spoilers. An adjustable one would be ideal. Problem is finding a good one.
bryanwheat said:It isn't a real good point at all unless you are going to be taking corners at 100+ mph. Autocross speeds are not near high enough for a spoiler to benefit you in any way. As for drag racing, you are awd you should not have traction problems to begin with, and if you do it will be at low speeds when taking off. Again a spoiler won't help with those speeds. These cheap ricer spoilers aren't really going to be very functional any way. It will be mounted to a sheet metal hatch on the car and they are cheap aluminum spoilers. If you want a real functional spoiler it is going to have to be built stronger than those and it will need to be tied into the structure or the car.
I agree and they are very hard to find, I may end up going with the deck spoiler from the millenium body kit. I refuse to go aluminum, if I could find the millenium wing cheap, like dirt cheap. Id like to mold it so I could get it made in CF. The millenium wing is my last resort which is what looks like I may have to use, or a veilside wing.
Alright, I've narrowed down the spoilers between 2.

zArlen said:The paintable one is the better of those two IMO. The only way I would ever accept (personal opinion of course) a big carbon fiber wings on these cars is if it was a legitimate race wing. Like the one on my buddy's evo.... granted it was a $1000+ wing, but if you want the real thing, the functional thing, then you have to pay a big price. Those poser ricer wings are cheap for a reason. I say go with the stock wing, wingless, or something small that can be painted like that spoiler you linked. Keep it tasteful man, and don't be a poser/ricer.
BTW, here's a pic of my buddy's EVO with the wing I mentioned. One of the most badass cars around here by far.
I appreciate the input, I'm trying to stay as un rice as I can. However, for my build the wing has to be CF, and while I like the look of a high rise wing, I dont think it would look right.
Nothing wrong with a carbon fiber wing if it's a functional one, like the one on the evo... But they're big $$$. And even then if you don't race it as a street/track car you'll still get s**t for being a "poser" of sorts. Not from me... I don't care what people with their cars. Just warning ya
