Re: Wing or no Wing?
Dealer installed the OEM wing once the parts arrived for me. They say it's marked pretty well for the installers and it took about 25 minutes. It was a $450 and they did the install for "free". Definitely quality work but I don't know about the wiring as I only had the car about two days before I had the wing on. Mine is bright silver and I like it more w/wing. Trunk is 100% NOT Al
Coupe too? nice.... I'll be happy when I give mine some personality after the thaw.

I've ordered from SpoilerDepot.com before. I'll have to say that their spoilers look just as good as OEM. However, they're not perfect. I'd rate them at around 8.5 from a scale of 1 to 10. You'll notice some slight imperfections if you take a good look, but what can you expect from a spoiler 1/3 the price of OEM. Nevertheless, the imperfections are small and livable. The paint matches very good, however, I'd recommend waxing them cause I don't think the paint/clear coat is very thick. Packaging is very good. The spoiler came securely suspended in foam within a large cardboard box. All in all, a great product for the price.

My dealership told me they install pretty much all of the spoilers; rather than the cars coming that way from the factory. Who knows though, it was a salesman that told me that :P If you get your spoiler installed at the dealership, they should put a little cover over the rear window light, so you only see the spoiler one. (Makes it look more like the spoiler was part of the original design)

Have not taken the wing off on the "G" to verify, but in the past, cars from Japan that have a factory wing had holes drilled but they were done before painting etc. So there was less likelyhood of rusting and since a machine usually does the drilling the alignment is also usually dead on.

At first, the wing didn't do it for me... but after a while, it began to grow on me. Now I just plain love it. What do you think of it? Have you seen it in person yet? If you do decide to get it, one thing's for sure.. it'll make your look just a bit more exclusive due to the fact that fewer cars will be equipped with them! Got my DG 6MT pick up tomorrrow - WITH the wing. Good luck.

Re: Wing or no Wing?
That's funny- I see way more with a spoiler. I really wanted a spoiler, but ended up not getting it just cause I wanted other stuff more- and I actually haven't regretted not getting it at all. It's not even like I think the spoiler looks bad... it's just that it looks good either way, so why go for the extra cost. I guess the spoiler looks a tiny bit awkward to me because the rear window slopes so seamlessly into the trunk that you almost have this hatchback effect, where, from the side, there's no visually fitting place for the spoiler to sit.... becasue of the slant. I dunno... just my opinion. It'll look awesome no matter what
