APR wing came free

[POISONLOTUS]

When I first got the wing from another member, it was missing one of the screws. I tried to find a replacement in my toolbox, but said "F it". I just wanted to get it on already. Three out of four aint bad. Then when I was putting it on, another one came off. I tried to get the wing off, but I had stipped one of the bolts and couldn't. I tugged on the spoiler, and it wouldn't move, so I figured "good enough". And it was good enough for about nine months. Yesterday I hit a speed bump, and the side with the stripped bolt came off. I didn't notice until I got to my girls parents house. Luckily, her dad was able to cut new bolts for me, and now the damn thing is on good. Just wanted to remind people not to do half a$$ed jobs. This could have ended up a lot worse if it came free on the freeway...

It isn't stupid. Everyone just sees the word "free" and thinks that they see what they want to see. :gap:

[CeliKill180]

theres a reason for that, i don't thing "came free" is the proper way to say it

[POISONLOTUS]

maybe it's a west coast thing. *I guess I just opened the door for some SoCal insults* :laugh:

CeliKill, what is that black line going from the corner of your headlight across your fender in your sig? It looks like your fender has been cut in half.
I like the tach in the background like that. Looks good.

^^^ Pinstriping maybe?

[POISONLOTUS]

I am curious to see how that looks over the whole car if that is the case. But unless CeliKill missed my question, I guess we probably wont be finding out what that line is.
