Default OEM wing install

I just got a quote for $160 to install a rear wing on my 2003 350. Does that seem like a decent price? Seemed a bit high to me. Thanks

does it include painting and installing or only installing? my nismo wing cost total for the paint/install $150. I think the OEM spoiler should be cheaper..

I am pretty sure I paid 1 hour labor for the install. For me, that was $85.

You may be able to get away with not drilling the holes. I think I saw a few installs that simply used 3M double sided installion tape. Try search and see if you can find the thread.

thought about that as well, but I don't really want to "tape" anything on my car. Seems kind of silly, would just rather have it done right the first time. thanks for the tip though

my suggestion for you is to just be patient and wait for a used one. they are always popping up down where you are. just a matter of time....
