SALEEN S281 wing install

6stang · September 20th, 2009, 12:40 PM

What's the bet way to hold down the back edge of the SALEEN S281 wing to the back lip of the trunk? I was thinking double stick 3M tape... Anyone ever have to deal with this in the past?

Oh yeah... and what color should I paint my strut tower brace? It's for my Pacific Green V6.

its pretty easy and the 3M tape will work fine, just make sure you put it on right the first time!!

i put mine on will the supplied 3M tape that come with it and it worked out very well.

just be careful with high speeds and 3m tape. i was racing a civic one time (lol idk why) but he had a gigantic wing that flew off once we hit around 100. it was hilarious.

LMAO- That's awesome!

I'm not too worried about it the 2 forwarc most contact points have threaded holes that line up with the stock ones. The 3M tape is just to keep the back edge of the wing flush to the trunklid.

thats one of those times where you hate yourself for not having a video camera with you

Lol that's not as bad as the one time I saw a civic's fart cannon fall off.

About your strut tower I will say like the color of your stang, or buy a chrome one......

I was pretty fn funny. All the other little Hondas that were following him had to make drastic maneuvers to avoid it.

Hey- thanks for the input on the strut tower brace! I decided to go with Pacific Green! I figured that would look good! I'll probably be priming it today.
