Yes I have, you will have to take the sides and mold them flat because they have a rounded bottom for the 4th gen hatches, then you'll have to recess the front side down so that it sits flush against the glass and curve the ends of the tips around so it sits flush against the glass and you'll have to extend the center posts down so that they will touch the hatch to bolt down. It is a very good looking mod however, I love the way my car looks, I've been saying I have been going to post pics forever I've had the car done since late october and I still havent even taken a pic of it!
I promise I'll get one up really soon

By all means go for it man, I like to see guys like me that like to put work into their cars to get exactly the look that they want. But if you dont know much about working with fiberglass you'd probably be better off to take it to a good body shop. I work at a body shop myself and I'm guessin they'd probably charge around $300.00 for all the work but I promise you it'd be well worth it. Also you'll have to weld up your old holes in your hatch and drill some new ones but you'll figure it all out in the process and if you need any help at all just post and I'll help you in any way I can....

Yea, if you wanna be a lazy @ss u could just buy the aftermarket wing, but I dont think it looks as good as if u have an actual 4th gen molded to your hatch, The wings are actualy fairly easy to find at salvage yards, I picked mine up for like 75 bucks and put just a little labor into it and it looks awesome...

The only difference between the aftermarket & the OEM is the brake light anyways.

I think the aftermarket brake light is a lot better looking than the factory one.
