Question Stillen wing - two different styles ???

Can anyone tell me why the same Stillen wing has two different looks?

I'm looking to get the wing in the second pic. I don't feel much for the wing in the first pic and how it doesn't run with the Z's trunk line.

Hey Patrick,

Those are the same ones. The second picture is simply molded more to better blend with the trunk. Some people don't even bother molding it and simply slap the spoiler on or add very little mold to cover the lines. They use the same technique similar to how you would shave your front emblem. I'm planning to go with this wing as well in the future which is why I know how they achieve the look on the second pic (which I also plan on doing). This may cost you a little bit more depending on the shop you go to because they essentially have to mold it, smooth it all out, and also paint.

Here's some more info on the Pros/Cons:

Hope this helps!

Hehehe, hey James! Are you still enjoying drooling over your new shoes I sold ya? =)

I figured it was molded. I'm definitely going that route when I get that wing. I don't think it would be that labor intensive to mold that to the trunk anyways.

Thanks for the info !
