Factory 3pc wing bye bye

[Siwel]

Well finally I had some time off of work..

I got the holes welded up and smoothed out, then layed down some paint.
Got the 97+ high wing painted as well.

Now I just need to wetsand & buff the entire car.. fun fun.

I was giong to paint the front bumper I got for it, but have since decided not to use it (Buddyclub 2 bumper) and instead buy a 97 bumper. I dont mind how the bumper looks, I just hate how bodykit bumpers fit. They never look exactly right, ya know?

Anyhow.. pics;

Here's a pic of the Buddyclub2 hung on the car..

Doesnt look too hateful, I guess?
'97 nose would be hell of a sight better IMO though.

How much work is involved in this? Just repainted my car and wanted to do this, but didnt have enough time. I took off my low spoiler so i know all the holes, but is there alot of welding?

How many holes are there in total to weld up? (to make it completely wingless)?
Thanks.

To what I can rmemember, there is 13. I might be wrong though. And some may not need to be welded.

When I did mine I believe there were 16 holes (not sure if that was including the rear wiper that was shaved btw); it was definitely more than 13 though.

haha talon thumbnail only has 5 including the wiper hole

Aren't you suppose to paint the entire panel. Cause then the panel would have different shade of paint of it.

Alright yeah 16 sounds moe accurate. I would have shavd them if it wasnt so much damn work.
