You don't need a wing "installer". Any wing worth its salt will come with a template, all you need is a drill, and away we go. I installed my stock wing in about 20-30 minutes.

My bad I meant Trunk Lid not bumper. The force of acceration and downforce could certainly do some damage to our aluminum trunk lid when you have a large lever (read wing in this case) pressing against it. It would exert a considerable amount of force at the mounting location.

ahh ok I got you.......it has 2 positions for the amount of downforce.......but like I said if it doesnt look right then it just wont go on........I was just showing the low version of these wings which caught my eye because I dont like the high ones to much and you hardly see cars with the wing I posted (low drag style) at least I havent seen them very often........btw what is the wing width that is recomended on the rx-8??

This wing from TC Sportline is made for the RX-8, althought it will also fit many other vehicles.
