Absurd idea!

Creative · 03-27-2009, 05:20 PM

Lately I've been trying to come up with ways to make my fbp fa5 stand out a bit more and I stumbled across the idea of making it wingless. What are your guys' opinions/thoughts? How would I fix the drilled holes if I were to do it?

***Zeuceone*** · 03-27-2009, 05:25 PM

its been done. looks good. you can buy plugs for the holes and paint them to match.

I would just order a new trunk and have it painted. By the time you get the hole filled and it repainted you'll likely have spent almost the same amount... unless of course you have the skills to do the labor yourself.

i was looking for a pic of when 0720Steve removed his but couldnt find it. maybe he can post one for you.

GlassDoctor · 03-27-2009, 05:42 PM

if you really want to spend the cash go CF wingless. Think I saw one before and it was nice.

^^ haha FG*newb thinking the same thing

I really like the wingless look.

However, carbon fiber trunks, IMHO is two thumbs down. I just think it looks too ricey.

Paint it. Any carbonfiber on a car should be painted! That should be a law. so much swagger

It should be a law for all '09s to have to paintmatch the license trim piece and leave the OEM wheels at the stealership.

Wingless is the seks and I went as far as to try to purchase my FA5 without the useless piece of ****.
