the wing looks great! the car looks great actually...

the wing fits the oem hole?
Actually I didn't have the tall EVO wing before, I had the low one so we had to drill 1 hole on each side..and do some body work on the trunk eliminating one extra visible hole on each side.

It actually looks pretty good with the VIII wing. I wasn't too sure about that in previous pictures I had seen.

& by fitment issues with the Seibon hood, you mean some gaps on either side (where it meets the fenders), right? At least you can't tell in those pics :thumbup:
Fitment issues, definitely a bigger gap on the passenger side, but more of a problem was the body line on the hood on the same side. On the 3rd pic you can see where the hood raises up and meet the top portion of the fender piece to wrap upwards on the windshield. They were off substantially and more noticeable in person than in the pics.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. No one I knew thought the X would look ok with the VIII wing.....

By the way, the AMS carbon fiber roof had no issues at all, no problems with the weave or fitmen.

I believe there is a glue/sealant and some rivets to take apart.

Do you have any closeup pic of the roof? And where they connect to body? You car look sexy man ;)
I can take some pics with my phone if you want. Do you want pics where it meets the front and back window/windshield? On the side edges, the weather stripping covers everything.

Car looks GREAT in person

Its true...

The body shop did a GREAT job on the car and the wing really does follow the body lines. Its not my style, but it still looks great. The hood... even with the small fitment issues definately changes the agressiveness of your car.

+1 having the low wing was different I believe from the high EVO wing. I had to fill in 1 hole on each side to cover exposing holes while drilling 1 hole on each side to fit the mouting screws.

what is your car lowered on and what size are your wheels. Looking great!

Eibach pro Kit springs

If it yellows, just find someone local that has experience with CF and they can sand it down and re-clear. The EVO VIII wing was terrible when I got it, had my buddy do some work on it and now it looks brand new again.

Thanks for the compliments.

Solar powered evo! I always thinks that when I see CF roof on Evo's, but great looking car, I like how the Evo VIII wing looks on it.

Did you replace the foglight area with mesh?

Damn, didn't know there were that many carbon roofs on EVO's rollin around haha. Thanks for the compliments and no I haven't replaced the foglight area with the mesh. That will come soon.

IDK, I honestly do not like the old wing on the new car. The roof is SICK. But the old wings are so hard and chiseled just like the rest of the 8's and 9's. The X has smoother and flowing lines, just like the folding wing. Just my .02 but hey it's not my car. LOL.
werd!!!:yeahthat:
You do have a point, guess it's what angle you look at it. With me, I don't like either of the X's factory wings at any angle. Neither wing is for everyone....

daMn hot evo 10/9
Thank you.....
