    Thanks man I appreciate the link! I'm thinking something very similar to the stance nation one but smaller, less noticeable.

    Not sure how it would work, haven't found one in a yard yet but I think I know which wing your taking about. I'll have to try mocking one up.

    Thanks friend! Haha I'm still on the fence about it.

    Sooo drove this thing all the way to Victoria and back without busting anything
    Too too badly. While I was there I managed to pick up a rear lip/valence for some sort of neon or cavalier, forgot to make a note of what it was off of.

    Looked to be about the right size, only problem being the exhaust exit was on the wrong side. Also the corners of the valence didn't curve sharp enough.

    So I hacked it into 5 peices and started plastic welding


    Also moved the beveled edges to where my exhaust was for a nicer looking opening.

    Once that was done I slapped on some body filler.



    Sadly the blue isn't an exact match. I plan on painting it to match the black plastic side skirts and front lip.

    Thanks man! I just feel it needs a small lip on top of the trunk that sticks back maybe an inch or so.

    are you still running those Neon coilovers?
    Still running them. They handle really good and are comfortable. They're only variant 1's so they aren't as stuff as I'd like.

    Thanks mang! I appreciate it!

    Stopped at the yard today and picked this up

    And decided I liked my red bar panel better so swapped it out

    And tadah! Wingless booty

    Not totally sure if I like it, I think I'll make small lip spoiler type thing out of
    Fibreglass for it.
    Also got half ways thought installing a bumper pole, now it's JDM as faawk
