You will likely have to drill holes for the wraparound spoiler since they probably mount in a different place, but otherwise it should work.

Yep. Hafta fill the old mounting holes & drill new ones. The Areowing also has clips on the side of the glass that holds it down, but not sure how needed those really are. When I switched to a 4th gen wing I had to take those clips off & it has been fine for like 5 or 6 years now & stayed down without those clips.

i have the replacement areo wing and im VERY pleased with it even though it cost what it did. after you have it and its on the car you will be glad you did spend that much for it.

a friend that grew up around the body biz is VERY critical and was plesantly suprised at how well it fit and its overall appearance.

save the hassle and get the correct wing for your ride.

i bought mine direct from HAWKS with a friend which helped shipping cost and the boxing cost.

i measured the ocation of the clip mounts on the glass and tranferred that to the recesses under the wing, poked the 3 holes, put good screws on the holes and slid the wing on. i avoided using the clips that screw in at the tip of the spears as they looked uglyand i couldnt see how they would hold as well as the way i mounted mine.
