So, I am back to the basics, just sold my last non nissan project and I am focusing on getting my dd s13 coupe up to par. I noticed the rear wing had been leaking during this gnarly storm the other day, so I took it off today while I was washing the car. Big mistake, especially considering it is supposed to be sitting at import alliance tomorrow looking sexy hellaclean. So, the screws were both already missing from the side brackets near the edges. I pb sprayed the center studs and loosened those up a little but they still ended up pulling out of the wing. That is an easy fix with some epoxy.
The bad part is the clips that broke cleanly off of both sides. I have taken off a few of these wings in my day and never gotten the wing of without breaking these but usually its okay. This time I actually want to reattach the wing. The rubber base pads have also badly shrunken and cracked with age. I could try and cut a new set out of some kind of rubber sheet for that. But I really need to find the side clips, or a way to attach just as cleanly and securely. This is the cleanest s13 I have ever had and I don't want to ghetto it up.
