EVO-R High Wing

Verbal21 · 05-07-2012, 10:54 PM

Got my car back today and while it does look great, I did notice theres some gaps and the fitment isn't 100% flush but my shop bolted them on pretty good and I understand how OCD can drive you crazy, but I think I'll get over it. I'll try to post some pics up this weekend. It's gonna rain here all week.

I got mine done ,, i will post picks later

So all of you that have installed the Highwing. Have you noticed you cannot open the hatch now without having to hold the button in and lifting up? Are there stiffer springs we can get from like the Nismo to help fix this issue? Might also try the penny trick and see if this works... I already have the hatch springs replaced from the dealer as it was sticking sometimes...

Yep i noticed and it doesnt bother me that much,, u will need to replace to heavy duty trunk lift cause u gained more weight on ur trunk,, penny trick doesnt work i tried

Verbal21 · 05-20-2012, 06:51 PM

yeah, it doesn't really bother me because I never really open my trunk since you can't fit anything in there anyway, but I could see how people might find that a problem.

I got a solution for you guys. I'll post pics later. It is very easy.

Thats good news!

EVOR · 05-21-2012, 12:41 AM

Pop open your trunk. On the left side and right side there is a rubber stopper on each side. Inside there are springs. These springs gets weak after awhile. Specially something heavy it pushing them. Solution is put some pennies inside or metal ring inside. Made the spring have more pressure. So when pop open the trunk the spring will have more force to pop open.

Doesn't bother me either, i put a bigger wing on that leans further back putting more offset weight, I expected it but I may try the penny thing anyway and see if it works.

I also should mention my body shop did a fantastic job, it took 2 weeks for the to tell me it was ready for install but I also told them no rush so it could have been done earlier if I had asked. Charged me book time for a nismo wing cuz of how similar they are and everything is flush and perfect.

Just an update: Just installed two washers one each side in mine and it opens right up like it did before. I do have the revised springs that the dealer replaced though...
