I was driving home today after getting my Kaminari Race Wing installed, and heard something hit my car. When I got home I found that a rock or some sort of debris hit the front part of my hood and put a few small dents plus took some paint with it:eek: Jeezis freakin' chr*st:mad:! I just touched it up with some touch up paint, but the small dents are noticable...Oh well, looks like I'll be heading back to the bodyshop again:(.

Nah, I'll post pics of it later this week. I am very happy with tyhe wing! I'm glad I went your route by having the edges of the centerpiece painted spec blue. I'm doing an Overlay for the endcaps as well. Let me know if you're interested;).

That's okay, they'll fit right over the Kaminari sticker. They'll be pretty cheap too:). Yes, CF finish.

Actually they are really different... The Kaminari comes in 4 pieces and the WW comes with 3...

That really sucks. If you are crazy like me then you would just get a carbon fiber hood and repaint the hood. Whenever something goes wrong, I go all out and buy a mod to replace it. :D

Hey bat how was the quality of your carbon fiber blade. Mine is pretty beat up. If so what did the shop do to fix up the carbon fiber. I am taking the wing to get sprayed today. What edges did you get painted spec blue, just so i know if maybe i would like to get the edges sprayed.
EndlessShock: My race wing is only 3 pieces the two sides and CarbonFiber Blade.
Thanks

There were some scratches on the CF centerpiece. The instructions say to paint the edges black. I opted for Spec Blue to match my car. The clear coat did a good job of hiding some of the scratches. Overall, I'm happy with the wing:).

Bat?
Yeah,
Good idea... instead of paying $500 for CF hood, why not just overlay the whole hood for $50 from Bat.. :ugh: :wtf:
