Dose anyone have actual measurements or a templete for putting a gsx/t turbo wing on its the high rise one. i have searched and know one has any specific measurements pretty much guess, just woundering if anyone took the time to measure out a stock one?
 
Some people say there are already predrilled holes or marks. I couldnt find any whenever I did mine. I simply laid the wing atop the car. It follows the body lines. Try to get the wing to sit flush or when you bolt it down it will stress crack it. I then drew a template on the car w a paint pen or dry erase marker.

Than I laid the wing on some paper and traced around it. Cut out the stencil and put it up to the wing. Poke holes in the paper. Then lay the paper on the car line up your stencil with the outline and drill your holes.

Trust me fitment is kina a PITA my hatch is getting replaced but the first time I installed it the wing was too far back and it looked awkward. Look around for references on the passenger side shot pics. The gas door is a good visual as to where you want the plecement.

If you need a better explanation PM me and Ill try to call or explain better :thumb:

Im sure there are other ways but my final way was very effective. FYI be careful when drilling the front holes as you can hit the gas struts I read where some other members ruined theres.


Good Luck!

As far as placement try to get the back edge of the wing to sit even with the end of the hatch. Use a straight edge to get it in the ballpark. The key is getting it far enough back to sit flush on the deck without going so far back as the wing hangs over the back.
 
i need a pic of a bottom of a hatch that has a high rise 97-99 gst/gsx high rise wing, im mainly looking for where the stock holes are, if someone could snap a pic that would be great

thanks
