hey for all the guys taht bout the TRD wing from everythingcelica.com or any other style TRD wing as far as the install, how hard is it? and i have the wing, and i was wondering, how do u get the rear brake light to work? do u take the blac/red wire and jsut tap off the rear light thats already installed? also, are the four little bolts that come with the wing enough to hold it to the car???? and watta bout drilling into the rear hatch? any problems or .02 cents to add to help? . peace. jon please help me with this install, i am not sure bout this thing stayin on the car???!!!

I just installed my TRD wing...the four bolts on each side should be fine to hold it down but i suggest that you put some sort of sealant between the wing and the trunk to keep water out and to prevent rattling. Once you drill through the hatch make sure you seal the underside with some rubber stoppers and oil, kind of like when you get rust proofing done...just to prevent the newly drilled holes from rusting...as far as the actual drilling into the hatch i would figure out where you want the holes and try and punch a pilot hole/indentation so that the drill bit will sit exactly where you are drilling without moving. And lastly, the third brake light just needs to be disconnected and rewired down the inside of the hatch and connected to the new LED (this part took the most time only because it's a bitch trying to feed the wire down the side of the rear windshield. Anyways I hope this helped :D

i would be really careful if you are questionable about putting your own wing in....how much does a shop charge?? is it worth the money to not risk it???

hey guys. thanks so much for posting, yes i have a stock wing. i am very good with putting thigns on my car, i installed my own bodykit since the ass hole bodyshops round me wouldnt do it and it looks perfect, but anyway, that pervious post above was exaclty wat i needed, but as fasr as installing i think i can do it myself, doesnt sound hard, i thoguht u needed to get soemthig to put under the wing as far as like rubber to prevent it from rattilin and wat not, but it hink it shoul be fine, i am pretty sure ican do it now :) thanks guys so much for ur help, an di apologize for double posting, but NO one would answer me in appearance, thanks again, if theres any other info that i might need before painting let me know. peace
