Got the MS wing put on.. finally!

Just got my MS wing back from the shop after a bit.. it was gloomy and cold here in Chicago, but that didn't stop me to take some pics!

oh, and a better view of the 6 strake setup i recently put on...

Did you do the Teins your self or do you have somebody do it? I just got my Tein Flex units the edfc and I am debating on the job myself or letting someone else do it. If someone else did it, what did they charge you? Thanks!

eh, its too cold to work out of the garage and i dont have a spring compressor.. so, i just took it to a local custom shop here... $245. i could've gotten it cheaper @ $175, but was too lazy to drive 20 something miles, plus it was snowing. I've heard Cali shops can do it for far less $100-$125, so i guess it depends on your area. Call around! Good luck!
