[Saleen4971]

so i got mien tonight. no instructions which i kidna figured. wtf do all these thigns go to? foam tape, foam circle deals, plastic strips with a nub sticking ou, etc. etc.

wtf???

 

[DisposableHero]

just have a body shop deal with it.. trust me its a headache

 

[ZIncGTSTANG]

Where'd you order from? I got mine yesterday from Haney Motorsports and didn't get anything other than the wing, hardware and instructions.

 

[Stang|ess]

That's how they come. whoever is installing it has to use their own 2x tape, and lots of it.

 

[DTNODYA]

They are held on by tape???

 

[Saleen4971]

i got it from abcexclusive. very smooth. nto liek teh saleen one.

im not goign to a body shop because im painting it myself. probly this sunday. i jsut need help on waht to do with all these pieces!

 

[topless98gt]

How much did you guys pay for them?

 

[Saleen4971]

250 shipped iirc?

 

[AvalancheSVT]

3m tape is the industry standard for holding moldings and badges on the surface of the car.

I HATE it. It sucks @ss! At least it still looks damn good from far away.

I'll get it fixed AGAIN eventually but I have bigger things to spend on.

Ditto...

Give it the few days.
Mine showed up on 3 separate pkg in span of 3 weeks.

Wing first,
Then 3rd brake light the week later,
then instructions/bolts and nuts(no tape of anysort) week later

E-mail sent to Saleen wondering where all my stuff is during this time = 10+
Replay telling me that they are shipping in 3 pkgs = 0


Damn saleen..

Mine was like that at fist. U need to match bottom of spoiler to line on top of lisence opening. Then it'll match

 

[Saleen4971]

wtf are these for?


the fitment issue im having with mine is that the bolt holes dont really line up, and when i line up the wing to the 1/4's the key hole doesnt line up??

 

[mity2]

thats the strip u use to locate hole which are to be drilled. Is 2002 spoiler different then that on 01?

When did they start S281 with sideburn?

 

[Saleen311]

01-04 have the same drill holes

 

[Saleen311]

and i believe 03 was the first year of the sideburn. but IMO the S351/S281-E wing is the way to go. Ive had both and I definitely wouldnt do 281 again

 

[Saleen4971]

i was gonna get the 3 piece, but for the extra $50 i figured i woudl probly mess up sticking on teh side pieces, lol. so i jstu got the 1 piece


im probly gonna have to drill holes anyway.

also i decided im filling in the hole where the key lock is. it probly wont line up, and i never use the key anyway!

 

[topless98gt]

Where can I get the 98 S281 wing with the sideburn?

 

[stangman]

i don't think they make thos

I got mine for $236 shipped from Haney Motorsports. I didn't get the 3m double sided tape, but that wont be hard to get. Its an authentic saleen wing so i guess that makes it crap , but i dont have any complaints with the smoothness....some edges around the brake light need straightening. These are surprisingly thick and heavy compaired to the stocker.
