SOOOOOO...what is my review on the wing??? Bottom line is "you get what you pay for"

It took almost a full week to receive, even though SCF is literally about 2 hours from me.
I had some small minor imperfections in the fiberglass (see photos)
the screws are really weird but they work!
The driver side rear hole (if you are standing in front of the trunk facing the car) did not line up what so ever, and i lost the screw in the trunk so not like i could of even screwed it in. But for sure it did not line up. at least the way i had it.
Other than that the fit is amazingly well, it does feel a little flimsy but that could be the last screw missing. I was looking up reviews on the s281 from kanean and it looks as if the SCF fits waaaay better. Which is good because if i spent 270 on an unpainted wing and it fit like shit i would of been pissed. But this one was 156 to my dooor. So ill let the hole lining up slide. But dam it looks good!!!!...I also replaced the driver window motor. What was weird is that when i removed the original motor still had it plugged in and i flip the switch and it works!!! perfectly, but when in the regulator it doesnt want to work..ugh..but the ADELCO (typo?) one worked perfectly, now i have working windows again. Now the radiator i bought from oreilly (murray brand) is leaking after about a month. It is leaking bottom passenger side where the plastic tanks mate with the actual radiator. Good thing is that it has lifetime warranty. So lets see what they bullshit they come out with when its time to exchange.

Nice work so far. Car is coming along well. I put some MM solid motor mounts in my car awhile back also. Same results here, no bad vibes from them either. As long as the cam isnt rowdy, they work great.

So the clutch i had one...wellll it was a piece of poop.and the idiot who installed it had my TOB against my pressure plate at all times. It was getting extremely hard to get in gear and slipping all 5 gears. Pulled it out and got a McLeod Super Street Pro clutch installed. I am 270 miles into my break in period and soo far soo good. it grabs on reallllly good. But when i havent driven the car in a while, it will get hard to get into gear...which means my syncros are poop...oh great...time to run this tranny to the ground.

So i just finished my break in period for my McLeod Super Street Pro clutch, and all i can say is this thing grabs! I got my cc plates Woot woot. My heater core took a poop and dumped coolant all over inside. So i went to oreilly and got a 3/4" adapter connected and called it a day. fast forward to yesterday. the adapter warped and the hoses disconnected spilling coolants all over and in the process ripped my vacuum line. Some tape temporily fixed the lines and some copper piping solved that problem. So next step is too fixed that vacuum leak, fixed my TPS, fix my gas pedal (it came off), and fix the clutch pedal (cover came off). after that is save some money and get my coilovers and 3 link, then my CCW's!

Not sure entirely but I think the dash has to come out. That vacuum line controls your blend door and a/c stuff. As far as I know you gotta take the heater box out to get full access. That being said, doesn't your heater core need to be changed anyway?

Looks good. I ended up replacing my radiator when I swapped my engine. Bought a $65 one off e-bay just for sh!ts and gigs. It actually turned out to be a nice piece and works very well.

It's going to be fun as hell. I'm not sure if GTR guys are coming, but they usually roll out in force.
